CodeRabbit Incident Runbook
Overview
Rapid incident response procedures when CodeRabbit stops reviewing PRs, blocks merges, or behaves incorrectly. Since CodeRabbit is a managed SaaS service, incidents fall into two categories: (1) CodeRabbit service outage (check their status page), or (2) local configuration/permission issues (fix on your side).
Severity Levels
| Level | Symptom | Response Time | Action |
|---|
| P1 | PRs blocked, cannot merge | Immediate | Bypass check, notify team |
| P2 | Reviews not posting | < 1 hour | Diagnose installation |
| P3 | Reviews delayed (> 15 min) | < 4 hours | Check service status |
| P4 | Incorrect reviews | Next business day | Tune configuration |
