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.
