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.
