 ### Fixed
 - Fixed revision selection so the 64-revision cap prefers the newest matching branches and tags instead of pruning by ref-name order. [#1122](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1122)
+- Fixed infinite pagination loop in Gitea/Forgejo when an API token can only see a subset of org repos (the `x-total-count` header reports org total while token returns fewer items). [#1130](https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/pull/1130)
