+To ensure the stability and performance of the community-supported Open VSX Registry, API usage is organized into defined tiers. The Eclipse Foundation implements these limits to protect infrastructure from high-frequency automated traffic and to provide consistent service quality for all users. For more information, see link:https://github.com/EclipseFdn/open-vsx.org/wiki/rate-limiting[Rate Limits and Usage Tiers] and the link:https://github.com/EclipseFdn/open-vsx.org/wiki[open-vsx.org wiki].

 * Using link:https://open-vsx.org[https://open-vsx.org] is not recommended in an air-gapped environment, isolated from the internet. In order to reduce the risk of malware infections and unauthorized access to your code use the embedded or self-hosted Open VSX registry with a curated set of extensions.
