Hi. The same thing has been happening to me and many other people for a few days now. It won't let me view or access a raw file without waiting 4 or 5 minutes between each one. Otherwise, it show this: Is like a bad joke, Something is wrong with GitHub's systems. |

Microsoft is limiting the raw content delivery in the hard way. Many systems that run nowadays using githubusercontent (not scraping it) will hit this problem just for pulling scripts from the site as they always do. |

Yeah, I got the same issue. Even people who have literally never used GitHub before are getting the same error when trying to access raw content. |

I'm experiencing this issue as well, and I've noticed multiple reports from others encountering the same issue. It appears that github has begun incorrectly flagging users for scraping activity. Changing the IP appears to be the only effective solution |

I stayed a few days without accessing GitHub and I returned today after receiving a report about a broken link. When I checked it, GitHub returned error 429 even for my account, which is barely used. |

I've been dealing with this very same issue as well, for some days now. Is there any official statements from Github or Microsoft about this? Have this issue been recognized by them? |

This has been happening for a few days for many of us who have low activity on HitHub, but for others with similar activity, the same thing isn't happening. I need a solution, or I'll move my repos to another service like Codeberg. |

Same issue here. To test, I can't access Result: Can someone from the team have a look at this? I haven't performed anything akin to scraping at all, or even intensively quarried the API or resources. This basically makes me unable to use anything tied to GitHub seriously going forward if it's not solved. |

Still on the same here as well. Just tried again to run a LXC script: Before using that I used a similar script more thana week ago. And from 2 days ago I am still being flagged. Is there any moderator here that have the leverage to open a bug issue regarding this? Or should I bring this subject to a different forum? This is a honest question. |

Seems to be isolated to South America, at least for our users. |

Same here. Can't use Wabbajack because I can't connect. I don't know what it means to be a "scrapper", but I only use GitHub for Wabbajack. |

This is seriously troublesome, so much of my selfhosting structure depends on getting raw json files from github, its literally only a few kbs though. |

I'm getting that while running ComfyUI (ComfyUI Manager): Accessing the file directly, it's a 429, too many requests. I have created a PAT and used it before loading ComfyUI, but still nothing, same error. I close and open ComfyUI several times a day (never more than 60 times in a minute), and the PAT should allow 5000 requests per minute, so it's very safe to say it's not related to those limits. By reading you guys having the same issues, it does gives me some comfort knowing it's not only me. I have opened a support ticket with GitHub to find out what's going on. EDIT: Issue seems to be resolved by itself (for now). Something very weird is happening here. |

They're doing this again. Error 429 when accessing raw links, even though there's no sign of abuse. I guess that my IP pointing to Brazil is enough for their dumb machine to trigger this behavior. |

same problem here, i've noticed it yesterday while trying to use nix. the rate limit wasn't going away so i decided to wait until today, but nothing has changed. keep in mind i haven't even accessed github for almost a full day, so i couldn't even be scraping the website, let alone flooding it with requests. |

I used the Microsoft Store version to install WSL on Windows 11 (Ubuntu) from Argentina because I encountered the same error 429 when trying to install it via the terminal and also from the URL in the browser. wsl -l -v |

They think we are rat labs to test things right in production instead of testing on a dev server or anything else that will not impact our work. |

Question
Body
Hi folks;
I am ot a developer but I am a just normal user of a PVE machine and the famous "PVE Helper Scripts" to create LXC containers. I am not a heavy user and once a while I use those scripts to create a LXC for a service for my home lab. However since yesterday whan I was trying to create a LXC I started to receive the 429 error and that is still happening, even 16 hours later. What am I doing wrong? I only find on the internet saying that I am "abusing" and should wait for an hour or two but after many hours, I tried again and still get that.
