# Apple implements caps on bug reports after AI-generated submissions surge

> Apple has started rate limiting its own Feedback Assistant, the tool developers and researchers use to file bug reports, after being buried under a wave of AI-generated submissions. Users now face caps on how many reports they can file, with a 30-day cooling-off period between batches, though legitimate researchers can request higher quotas. The trigger is a familiar 2026 problem: large language models make it trivial to generate reports that look thorough but contain little real signal. When anyone can auto-produce a plausible-sounding bug writeup, the volume overwhelms the humans who have to triage each one, and genuine findings risk getting lost in the noise. It is a small operational change with a bigger message. Some of the earliest, most concrete costs of cheap generative text are not deepfakes or misinformation but sheer administrative flooding of systems built for human-scale input. Apple's move is essentially a spam filter for a channel that never needed one before, and it probably will not be the last company forced to build one.
