60 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.

Why would the changelog update not include this? it's the most salient piece of information.

I thought I was just misreading it and failing to see where they stated what the new rate limits were, since that's what anyone would care about when reading it.

1 request a minute?!? wow that's just absurd you get it for just looking through code.

I've hit this over the past week browsing the web UI. For some reason, github sessions are set really short and you don't realise you're not logged in until you get the error message.

I really wish github would stop logging me out.

1/min? That’s insanely low.

I bump into these limits just using a few public install scripts for things like Atuin, Babashka, and Clojure on a single machine on my home IP. They're way too low to be reasonable.
