### Maximum retries exceeded

This is likely caused by the public Vercel instance reaching one of the [Github GraphQL limits](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/resource-limitations#rate-limit). Multiple [PAT](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token) tokens have been used to overcome these limits (see [github-readme-stats/blob/master/src/common/retryer.js](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/blob/master/src/common/retryer.js)) but due to the popularity of GitHub-readme-stats, they sometimes run out. The best solution is to deploy your own Vercel instance. Please check [this guide](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#deploy-on-your-own-vercel-instance) on how this is done. You can find more information on this problem in #1471. You can also use #1471 to check if the Public Vercel instance is down and to let us know the limits are continuously being reached.

If there already is a recent comment or the ![](https://img.shields.io/github/labels/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/in-progress) label is attached, we are aware of the issue and are working on it. 🤓 Comments like "+1" and "same here" don't help anyone; they pressure the maintainer and spam their inbox. 💥
