Description

In our Augur deployment, @UCL-ISD's public repos cause the following error when fetching...

augur-1         | rate limited fetching https://api.github.com/repos/ucl-isd/.github
augur-1         | sleeping until 11:1 (0 seconds)

For Sam and Mose's keys. But not Mahmoud's. We should understand this and potentially report the problem to the @UCL-ISD owners.

This only affects the 18 public repos though. So not critical to be fixed.

Definition of done

  • We've identified what's different about Mahmoud's token or his account?
  • We've notified the ISD org admins.
  • We've decided if we want or can live without these 18 repos.
