Too many tickets about API rate limit increase show a huge amount of request coming from the CLI polling for running actions. This changes the default with the hope to keep the CLI snappy for fast running actions, but without exhausting all the API requests for long running actions. The exponential backoff function being capped to max 2.5s, it should still feel "snappy" even for long running actions, while cutting the amount of API request by ~x5. |

This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [hcloud](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli) | minor | `1.61.0` → `1.64.1` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>hetznercloud/cli (hcloud)</summary> ### [`v1.64.1`](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v1641) [Compare Source](hetznercloud/cli@v1.64.0...v1.64.1) ##### Bug Fixes - apple's signing and notarizing release pipeline ### [`v1.64.0`](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v1640) [Compare Source](hetznercloud/cli@v1.63.0...v1.64.0) ##### Primary IPs `assignee_type` behavior change When creating a Primary IP with the `primary-ip` command, the `--assignee-type` flag will be required together with the `--assignee-id` flag. Using the default value (`server`) for the `--assignee-type` flag is deprecated. Consider explicitly setting the `--assignee-type` flag. As of 1 August 2026, the behavior of the Primary IP `assignee_type` property will change, and will return `unassigned` when the Primary IP is not assigned (when `assignee_id` is `null`). The goal is to eventually assign Primary IPs to other resource types, not only to `server`. See the [changelog](https://docs.hetzner.cloud/changelog#2026-04-27-primary-ips-will-return-unassigned) for more details. In addition, the Primary IP request body `assignee_type` property of the operation [`POST /v1/primary_ips`](https://docs.hetzner.cloud/reference/cloud#tag/primary-ips/create_primary_ip) is now optional. Primary IPs created without `assignee_type` return `server` until 1 August 2026, after this date, its value will be `unassigned`. See the [changelog](https://docs.hetzner.cloud/changelog#2026-04-27-primary-ips-make-assignee_type-optional) for more details. ##### Features - **primary-ip**: `--assignee-type` is optional when creating a Primary IP ([#​1395](hetznercloud/cli#1395)) ### [`v1.63.0`](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v1630) [Compare Source](hetznercloud/cli@v1.62.2...v1.63.0) ##### Available and recommended Server Types have been moved - The Server Types list in `hcloud datacenter describe` is deprecated and will not be displayed anymore after 2026-10-01. The two commands below should be used for this purpose instead. - `hcloud server-type describe` now shows an `Available` and `Recommended` value for each location. - `hcloud server-type list` now has additional columns `location_available` and `location_recommended`. See the [changelog](https://docs.hetzner.cloud/changelog#2026-04-01-datacenter-deprecations) for more details. ##### Features - **datacenter, server-type**: move available and recommended to server\_type ([#​1384](hetznercloud/cli#1384)) ### [`v1.62.2`](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v1622) [Compare Source](hetznercloud/cli@v1.62.1...v1.62.2) ##### Bug Fixes - invalid goreleaser artifacts name for signing step ([#​1380](hetznercloud/cli#1380)) ### [`v1.62.1`](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v1621) [Compare Source](hetznercloud/cli@v1.62.0...v1.62.1) ##### Bug Fixes - **server-type**: do not print locations that are unavailable (after deprecation) ([#​1369](hetznercloud/cli#1369)) - long version info not displayed correctly in release builds ([#​1374](hetznercloud/cli#1374)) - only generate signature for `checksums.txt` release asset ([#​1366](hetznercloud/cli#1366)) ### [`v1.62.0`](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v1620) [Compare Source](hetznercloud/cli@v1.61.0...v1.62.0) ##### Features - build .deb and .rpm release files ([#​1311](hetznercloud/cli#1311)) - **primary-ip**: new flag to specify assignee-type on primary-ip create ([#​1348](hetznercloud/cli#1348)) - increase default poll interval for long running actions ([#​1364](hetznercloud/cli#1364)) - **server-type**: add `location` to list table default columns ([#​1340](hetznercloud/cli#1340)) - **server-type**: remove `storage_type` from list table default columns ([#​1340](hetznercloud/cli#1340)) - allow listing contexts as json/yaml ([#​1352](hetznercloud/cli#1352)) - add --long flag to version command ([#​1353](hetznercloud/cli#1353)) ##### Bug Fixes - suppress trailing spaces in tables ([#​1355](hetznercloud/cli#1355)) </details> --- ### Configuration 📅 **Schedule**: (UTC) - Branch creation - At any time (no schedule defined) - Automerge - At any time (no schedule defined) 🚦 **Automerge**: Disabled by config.

By default, if an actions takes more than 5 seconds, gradually increase the poll interval from 500ms to a maximum of 2.5s.
This will reduce the amount of API request made for long running actions, also reducing the chances to run into the API requests rate limit.
If you need a constant poll interval, consider setting the
--poll-intervalflag to the desired value.
