## About GitHub Rate Limits
|
|
|
|
GitHub API limits users to 60 requests per hour if not logged in,
|
|
and since we send 1 request to check each kext's update,
|
|
the 60 requests limit could be easily exceeded.
|
|
You can create an API token with your GitHub account to increase the rate limit to 5000 reqeusts per hour.
