Description
In response to the request for support for batching REST API requests in #50244, it is important to note that, as mentioned in the original developer’s note https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/20/rest-api-batch-framework-in-wordpress-5-6/, GET requests are currently not supported. This restriction was implemented due to concerns about the potential impact on database performance if a large number of GET requests were made.
However, it is possible to mitigate this concern by limiting GET requests to users who have access to the block editor. This would allow for the efficient handling of GET requests without compromising database performance.

Hi, I am Saurav Dhami, and I am attending WordCamp Nepal Contributor Day for Core Table 2025. I was going through this ticket, and I was concerned about the restriction of Get API in batch processing for support. So I want to know more about this, and further, I want to know more about mitigating this concern by limiting GET requests, and my focus would be on the changed impact on the database after the concern is solved. Also, how can I contribute to solving this concern ?
