Error: RATE-001
⚠️ GitHub rate limit exceeded - You've made too many requests to GitHub in a short period.
What happened?
GitHub limits the number of API requests you can make per hour. This error occurs when that limit is reached.
- With authentication: 5,000 requests/hour
- Without authentication: 60 requests/hour
How to fix it
- Wait for the limit to reset
- The rate limit resets every hour
- You can check your limit at GitHub Rate Limit API
- Reduce request frequency
- Avoid refreshing repository lists repeatedly
- Submit issues in batches rather than one at a time rapidly
- Ensure you're authenticated
- Authenticated requests have a much higher limit
- Check that your token is valid in Settings
💡 Tip: If you regularly hit rate limits, consider using a GitHub App token instead of a Personal Access Token for higher limits.
