The bot is in a state of emergency, it has reached Github's API rate limit and can't do anything. Please send a message to Github support telling them why we need the rate limit lifted for the botwillacceptanything account! https://github.com/contact?form%5Bsubject%5D=botwillacceptanything%20Rate%20Limiting https://github.com/contact?form%5Bsubject%5D=botwillacceptan...

Is it fixed now? You posted 35 minutes ago but the last bot message is from 10 minutes ago.

  No, I'm actually just manually counting votes and accepting/rejecting the PRs. I have become the bot until the limit resets :/

This seems like maybe the exact reason FOR an API rate limit?

Someone submitted a pull request, #6, that reduced the polling interval but wasn't described as doing so, and it was voted in. Interesting.

Rather than polling the API, you could use webhooks to avoid hitting the rate limit: https://developer.github.com/webhooks/ https://developer.github.com/webhooks/
