What are people doing to get their account rate limited?

- JohnMakin 2y agoCI/CD pipelines at large scale can pull directly from src repos sometimes causing stuff like this, just off the top of my head. I think the default is 5000 per hour which is not very much for automation to chew through. I ran into something similar with bitbucket once that I had to engineer around because it was very annoying.

- MarkSweep 2y agoIf you are in a large company that VPNs all your traffic to one point, you can get rate limited if you visit GitHub without logging in. If you are getting the GitHub API, the rate limit is 60 request per hour, per IP. That is easy to hit. If you send an API token, it’s 5000 requests per hour. https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28 https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limi...
