API rate limit exceeded for IP
Using the launcher for some months now and I don’t know why, but sometimes I try to open the launcher and I get this error:
8:04:51 PM - Error from https://api.github.com/repos/runelite/launcher/releases: 403: {"message":"API rate limit exceeded for 187.19.177.105. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"}
I’m not abusing the login or anything; I’m only using only one account and I think I’ve only opened the Bolt launcher about 5 times during the day. This has happened to me a few times on different computers but using the same internet. Maybe it's because my ISP uses CGNAT and routes the addresses.
Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit <- How can I use this?
Normally the problem disappear after a couple minutes or hours but led me unable to play meanwhile.
Checking I see that my API quota is indeed limited according to the output from https://api.github.com/rate_limit

This error is from the Github API and happens when trying to check for a newer version of RuneLite from their releases page, which currently happens every time you click "play". Github rate-limits requests to 2 per minute from any IP address. So either you're launching the game too often, or your IP address is being used by someone else (maybe a shared router, a college or university campus, a VPN, etc..)
I've been thinking I should add a cooldown period so that it won't check more than once per five minutes, or so.

Fixed in in version 0.10 which has just been released. For the record, I was never able to recreate this - I clicked the button over 20 times in a minute and couldn't get a rate-limiting response no matter what. Regardless, I added a 2-minute cooldown to update checking, and also made RuneLite launch even if the update check fails (if a version already installed of course.)
