From time to time we get an error running the circleci CLI, the reason being that checking the latest release result in “403 API rate limit exeeded”. I can work around the issue by manualy editing ~/.circleci/update_check.yml to a timestamp around current time, but I would rather have a warning message printed instead of terminating the prosess. Also the request is unauthenticated which means you’re limited to 60 req/h. Is there a way to add an oauth token to this request?
Hi @tommybo-entur, setting a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable should help. We have better handling of this scenario in our backlog. You can find more about this issue here, too.
Apologies for inconvenience!
