Why

Any managed host that configures a periodic host limit — a limit with maxPeriodic, such as a monthly email allowance — makes the whole of Admin's settings area unusable.

apps/admin/src/settings/hooks/use-limiter.tsx calls loadLimits() without the subscription argument that @tryghost/limit-service requires for periodic limits:

} else if (has(limitConfig, 'maxPeriodic')) {
    if (subscription === undefined) {
        throw new IncorrectUsageError({message: messages.noSubscriptionParameter});

The hook builds its limiter inside a useMemo, so the throw happens during render and reaches each section's error boundary. Every section using useLimiter, directly or via use-check-theme-limit-error, renders "An error occurred loading …" instead of its content: Access, Analytics, Branding and design, Tiers, Newsletters, Staff invite, Integrations, Labs, Network and Stripe Connect. The design and theme modal doesn't load at all.

The config is not at fault — hostSettings.subscription.start is present and the server reads it correctly. The React hook simply never looks at it.

#29837 fixed exactly this bug, but only in apps/ember-admin/app/services/limit.js. Ghost has three LimitService call sites; the server and the Ember admin both resolve a subscription, and the React settings app was the one left behind.

What

  • Resolves subscription from hostSettings.subscription.start and passes it to loadLimits(), the same way the Ember service and ghost/core/core/server/services/limits.js already do.
  • Skips a periodic limit when there's no subscription to anchor it. Registration stops at the first limit that can't be built, so passing one through would drop every limit registered after it — leaving Admin with no limits at all rather than one missing limit.
  • Types hostSettings.subscription, which the Config type was missing.

Testing

New unit tests in apps/admin/src/settings/hooks/use-limiter.test.ts cover a periodic limit with an anchoring subscription, one without, and a subscription that has no start. Each declares the periodic limit ahead of a max limit, so a throw during registration takes the second limit down with it and fails the test — all three fail against main with IncorrectUsageError: Attempted to setup a periodic max limit without a subscription.

pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck and the full apps/admin unit suite (1610 tests) pass, as do the admin-x-framework tests.

Walkthrough

The admin configuration now accepts an optional ISO 8601 subscription start date. useLimiter validates this date, derives a monthly subscription period, filters periodic limits when no valid date exists, and passes the result to limiter.loadLimits. Unit tests cover valid, missing, invalid, empty, UTC, offset, local, and date-only ISO values.

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

no ref

The limiter loaded limits without the `subscription` argument that
@tryghost/limit-service requires for periodic limits. Any configured
maxPeriodic limit therefore threw an IncorrectUsageError, and since the
hook builds the limiter inside a useMemo, the throw happened during
render and reached each section's error boundary. Access, Analytics,
Branding and design, Tiers, Newsletters, Staff invite, Integrations,
Labs, Network and Stripe Connect all rendered "An error occurred
loading ..." in place of their content, and the design and theme modal
never loaded at all.

- passes the subscription through, resolved from hostSettings the same way
the Ember service and the server already do
- skips a periodic limit when no subscription anchors it, since
registration stops at the first limit that can't be built and would
otherwise drop every limit after it
- types hostSettings.subscription, which the config type was missing

**/*.{ts,tsx}: Type-safe boundaries: Fail only if the PR:

  • consumes boundary data (HTTP input, external API/SDK responses, env/config,
    DB/filesystem reads, queue/webhook/event payloads) without validating it
    first — Zod by default, another format only where an external contract
    requires it; or
  • introduces any, unchecked as, @ts-nocheck, or @ts-ignore to bypass
    typing boundary data; or
  • hand-writes a type duplicating a shape a Zod schema describes (use z.infer).
    Never fail for: internal function/module calls (no runtime validation needed),
    pre-existing JS files touched incidentally, tests, scripts, or config files.

**/*: Prioritise concrete correctness, security, data-integrity, compatibility,
and regression risks. Explain the failure mode and point to the affected
code. Do not report formatting, naming, import ordering, type errors, or
other findings already owned by configured static tools or failing GitHub
checks. Do not request speculative abstractions, broad refactors, generic
documentation, or tests unrelated to changed behaviour. For a move,
rename, TypeScript conversion, or explicitly behaviour-preserving refactor,
do not report pre-existing problems unless the diff introduces or worsens
them, makes them newly reachable, or prevents the stated transformation
from being correct. Treat nearby AGENTS.md files and mapped codebase
documentation as authoritative; do not enforce proposals, plans, or
historical guidance as current policy.

**/*.{ts,tsx,mts,cts}: Review lens: "where does this data become trusted?"

  • Boundary data (HTTP input, external API/SDK responses, env/config,
    DB/filesystem reads, queue/webhook/event payloads) is unknown until
    validated — Zod by default.
  • Infer boundary types via z.infer/z.input; flag handwritten duplicates.
  • Flag any, unchecked as on boundary data, @ts-nocheck, and unexplained
    @ts-ignore/@ts-expect-error.
  • Validated data stays trusted: don't request Zod on internal calls, and flag
    redundant re-validation.
  • ghost/core golden path: schema.ts owns Zod schemas + inferred types, with
    codec/serializer modules at the edges (see core/server/services/gift-links).
  • Looser typing in tests is fine unless it hides a real defect.

Comment thread apps/admin-x-framework/src/hooks/use-limiter.ts Outdated
no ref

Skipping a periodic limit only when `start` was missing still let a
non-empty but unparsable value through. limit-service resolves the
period with luxon's ISO parser, and its MaxPeriodicLimit constructor
only checks that a start date is present, never that it parses — so a
value like a `Date.toString()` output built a limit that registered
happily and then counted against no period at all, silently never
firing. A host that had configured a cap would have no cap and no error
saying so.

Validates the date against the forms that parser accepts, and treats
anything else the same as a missing start. The calendar day is checked
separately because `Date.parse` normalises an impossible one rather than
rejecting it, turning 2026-02-29 into 2026-03-01 where luxon reads
neither. Checked for parity against luxon across UTC, offset, local,
date-only, non-ISO, out-of-range and empty inputs so a legitimate anchor
isn't rejected.

@betschki Sorry, could you do it again? I've been sacked with security submissions the past few weeks and have necessarily fallen behind on general submissions.
