You could submit a PR for each bug or if there are a few bugs around the same thing then bundling those up is fine. You could have been submitting PRs every couple hours to a day for that month.

These have a lot of potential for abuse so use with caution but things that have dependencies on each other can use stacked PRs(yeah, this is GitHub specific). I’ve also found that splitting out any generated code with these is tremendously helpful at review time. Not talking about AI generated code. An example would be something like using a client generator for an OpenApi document. That way the tens to hundreds of files from the generator are in their own layer of the stacked PR and all the logic that uses it is in the other. You review each layer individually and can spend significantly less time on the generated one.

Don’t feel bad especially if it was your first time. This is my largest PR ever. It was just removing old projects from a repo though that were triggering our security/vulnerability scanning though.
