lovely-forks: Looks like the rate-limit was exceeded.

[mgroth0]

This extension seems like it could be really helpful, but it is not working for me. I am getting the error in the title of this issue every time a page loads.

I haven't seen any change in the Github API of late.

Perhaps it was a transient issue? Lovely forks tries to make judicious use of caching to avoid exceeding the API rate limit. Perhaps some other Github related extension you are using/were experimenting with was also clobbering the API? If so, I would like to know.

In any case, I think I should allow the user to specify a personal access token, much like I do for appreciate, to increase the rate limit.

Ah, after disabling all my other Github extensions this problem was resolved. Feel free to close this unless you want to keep it as a reminder for the personal access token.

If you decide to add that field, you can probably just copy most of options/* in https://github.com/bfred-it/github-issue-link-status/blob/master/source

@bfred-it Thanks! I will include it with the next iteration.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I can't find this option in the extension. I also use other extensions that do not have the personal token option, so I'm trying to be under the limit with the extension that have it :)

[musically-ut]

@fharper That is because I haven't implemented it yet. :)

Are you running into the rate limit regularly?

[fharper]

@musically-ut: oh, my bad, no worries 😅

Yes I do, because I use like 6 other GitHub specific extensions and 3 of them don't have the option to use a personal token, so it kinda happen quickly when you spend a lot of time on GH during the day.
