#360 req/hour for unauthenticated users
5000 req/hour for authenticated - personal
15000 req/hour for authenticated - enterprise org
According to https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limi...
I bump into this just browsing a repo's code (unauth).. seems like it's one of the side effects of the AI rush.

Or maybe your IP/browser is questionable.

*other ai bots, ms will obviously mine anything on there.
Personally, I like sourcehut (sr.ht)

#6Also https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/157887 "Persistent HTTP 429 Rate Limiting on *.githubusercontent.com Triggered by Accept-Language: zh-CN Header" but the comments show examples with no language headers.
I encountered this too once, but thought it was a glitch. Worrying if they can't sort it.

I encountered this on github last week. Very agressive rate limiting. My browser and IP is very ordinary.
Since Microsoft is struggling to make ends meet, maybe they could throw a captcha or proof of work like Anubis by xe iaso.
They already disabled code search for unauthenticated users. Its totally plausible they will disable code browsing as well.

I'm using Firefox and Brave on Linux from a residential internet provider in Europe and the 429 error triggers consistantly on both browsers. Not sure I would consider my setup questionable considering their target audience.

I’m browsing from an iPhone in Europe right now and can browse source code just fine without being logged in.
