What Counts as “Pending”

A Pull Request will appear in the Pending queue and provoke the alarm icon if

You are involved as a Reviewer, and
You have not clicked Approved or Needs Work

Clicking Needs Work says to the developer that the PR requires attention and will remove it from your queue because you’ve “done something about it”.

When the developer pushes a new changeset, the Needs Work flag is automatically cleared and the request will fall back into Pending.

Icon States

Icon	Meaning	Tooltip Text
	The API is locked, you need to provide your Bitbucket password or Bittray cannot connect (VPN down).	Locked…
	You have Pull Requests that need attention	X PR(s) waiting…
	All of your Pull Requests have been actioned	PR Queue clear!
	You exceeded the API rate limit; automatic request backoff is in effect.	Rate Limited!

Rate Limiting

Automatic exponential request backoff with randomized jitter was introduced in v1.1.2 Space Piano.

If the poller thread receives a 429 Too Many Requests, the icon will change and the poller will backoff with increasing sleep intervals until a successful request resets it. There is no maximum to the timeout.

The polling interval is 20 seconds.

Menus

Clicking the tray shows some menu options:

Menu Name	Function
Update Available	When a new release is pushed to Github, a menu item will appear to inform you. Click it to go to the releases page.
Review X Pull Requests	Opens the Bitbucket pull request Dashboard you provided.
Go to Bitbucket	Opens Bitbucket Dashboard, but when you don’t have any PRs
Quit	Quits Bittray
