Limiting interactions in your repository
People with owner or admin access can temporarily restrict certain users from commenting, opening issues, or creating pull requests in your public repository to enforce a period of limited activity.
After 24 hours, users can resume normal activity in your repository.
Tip: Organization owners can enable organization-wide activity limitations. If organization-wide activity limitations are enabled, you can't limit activity for individual repositories. For more information, see "Limiting interactions in your organization."
