Description

Despite selecting the NoThrottle rate limit checker, the /rate_limit endpoint is still being hit in various scenario.

Connector$GitHubConnection.verifyConnection is eventually calling org.kohsuke.github.GitHubClient.checkApiUrlValidity with NoThrottle but it does not matter because the GitHubClient has a GitHubRateLimitChecker that will only always skip the rate limits check if the RateLimitChecker provided is of type org.kohsuke.github.RateLimitChecker.NONE. If it is another type, the client will occasionally hit the rate limit endpoint...:

Some of this can be fixed in GH Branch Source:

Explicit calls to getRateLimit() should not be done if Rate Limit checker NoThrottle is selected:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-branch-source-plugin/blob/1807.v50351eb_7dd13/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/github_branch_source/GitHubAppCredentials.java#L723-L729

https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-branch-source-plugin/blob/1807.v50351eb_7dd13/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/github_branch_source/Connector.java#L218

Calls to GitHubClient.isCredentialsValid should not be done directly and should have a check for the checker configuration. Connector.isCredentialsValid(GitHub) should be used:

github-branch-source-plugin/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/github_branch_source/GitHubSCMSource.java at 1807.v50351eb_7dd13 · jenkinsci/github-branch-source-plugin

Maybe github-api could use a different endpoint to check that a credentials is valid ? https://github.com/hub4j/github-api/blob/github-api-1.318/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GitHubClient.java#L170-L172.

For general request send, the problem is that the checker set for the GitHubClient is a org.jenkinsci.plugins.github_branch_source.ApiRateLimitChecker.RateLimitCheckerAdapter to be able to dynamically configure the client in case the configuration has changed. But the only way to really not check the rate limit at the moment is to use an instance of RateLimitChecker.NONE from the GitHub API:
