  • If possible, make a PR with a failing test to give us a starting point to work on!
Describe the bug

Problem

Our workflows make many requests to GHCR. This gets frequently rate limited.

See https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-quantum/actions/runs/22109358500/job/63901118985#step:11:314

#30 ERROR: failed to copy: httpReadSeeker: failed open: unexpected status code https://ghcr.io/v2/nvidia/buildcache-cuda-quantum-merge-group-assets-prereqs-cu12-6-llvm-arm64/blobs/sha256:f6d240177c52f64e99f6e65d17a5ccaa4e67a79a92a25789dd5d56c05da7e41b: 429 Too Many Requests - Server message: toomanyrequests: retry-after: 333.939671ms
Steps to reproduce the bug

Run multiple PRs/merge-queues at once.

Expected behavior

No rate limiting.

Is this a regression? If it is, put the last known working version (or commit) here.

Not a regression

Environment

CI

Suggestions

Maybe use multiple tokens, or different registries?

Contributor guide

Open the contributing guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the repository's CI workflows and the referenced GitHub Actions run, focusing on the GHCR requests that fail with HTTP 429. Determine how concurrent PR and merge-queue builds access the registry; done means the workflows avoid or appropriately handle the reported rate limiting when multiple runs execute.
