Is there a way to increase the 250 limit of ssh connections?

[Robert_Booke]

Is there a way to increase the 250 limit of ssh connections?  Could there be a setting to ensure that Bitbucket is balancing the load to the other nodes when this starts happening?  We see this almost everytime we restart the services or if we have a major peak hit and the system starts to slow up a bit with some users getting the limit message.

Hi Robert,

There is no hard limit of 250 SSH connections in Bitbucket Server. I suppose the message you are referring to is the "Bitbucket is reaching resource limits" message?

I would recommend taking at look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/bitbucket-server-is-reaching-resource-limits-779171381.html to understand what that message means and what can be done about it.
