[JENKINS-69546] Backward Compatibility issue with 'Github Branch Source' plugin

After upgrading to Jenkins 2.346.3 as well as all the plugins accordingly last week, pipelines fail constantly because Github Branch Source (v1687.v7618247e672d) cannot pass a check:

Sep 07, 2022 12:45:17 PM INFO org.jenkinsci.plugins.github_branch_source.ApiRateLimitChecker$RateLimitCheckerAdapter checkRateLimit

LocalChecker for rate limit was not set for this thread. Configured using system settings with API URL 'https:///api/v3'.

Because this Github server is on a private and it may not have had the rate limit enabled ever, our CI/CD is blocked and our team is coding blindly, etc...

As such, we consider a Backward Compatibility issue with this plugin.
