Renovate-bot 403 errors

(First off, thanks to the maintainers! I started using Codefloe last week and I’ve been really impressed!)

I’ve been trying to get the renovate-bot working with one of my private repos. According to the dashboard, it’s hitting a 403 error trying to access the repo:

{
  "name": "renovate",
  "hostname": "codefloe-org-repo-053f3d47kgmgs-wwmxl",
  "pid": 94,
  "level": 20,
  "logContext": "2a696ef3-ed25-4fcf-94b6-02153320c387",
  "repository": "org/repo",
  "msg": "GET https://codefloe.com/api/v1/repos/org/repo/pulls?state=all&sort=recentupdate&limit=100&poster=renovate-bot = (code=ERR_NON_2XX_3XX_RESPONSE, statusCode=403 retryCount=0, duration=8)",
  "time": "2026-06-18T12:30:51.457Z",
  "v": 0
}

I thought at first that I’d done something wrong giving renovate-bot access to the repo, but then I noticed that the public repos that I can see in the dashboard are hitting the same error, so I suspect it’s infrastructural.

Spot on! After we hardened our proxy a few days ago against the Git scraping with many labels, the renovate requests are now affected by this. We actually already had a allowlist in place for RenovateBot|renovate-operator but the requests are now carrying Renovate only.

We’ve now allowlisted our internal IPs, which run the bot in the first place, and removed the UA allowlist. The next jobs should be processing the repos again.

Thanks for reporting! :heart:
