Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

GitHub PR environments running BugBot + AutoFix

Describe the Bug

AutoFix stops auto fixing after a bit of iterations of fixes. This leaves me to manually queue up a web agent to fix it.

Setup:

  • Threshold: on for LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH risk bugs
  • Trigger: on push (same branch)
  • Model: Composer 2.5

Steps to Reproduce

Have many bugs to the point it stops, in this case I had 20.

Expected Behavior

Should spin up AutoFix instead of doing nothing.

Operating System

Windows

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No, just tedious and I would like to find solutions or workarounds!

Hey @dtr00!

Thanks for the feedback. Just to explain what’s going on here: This is the autofix loop cap kicking in. Because you’ve got Autofix set to Commit to Existing Branch (push to same branch), Autofix will spawn at most 3 times per PR in a 24h window and then go quiet, to avoid runaway loops.

The cap is specific to that trigger. If you switch Autofix to Create New Branch or Create New Pull Request, it doesn’t apply, and it’ll keep going on every push (tradeoff: more branches/PRs to triage).
