Draft pull requests count toward pull request limits
By Steven Van ·
Maintainers can configure the setting to curb repository spam and the clutter, notifications, and CI runs it creates.
Repository maintainers on GitHub can now configure pull request limits to include drafts. Previously, drafts did not count toward a user’s limit, so someone could open unlimited drafts even when other pull requests were capped.
