Can you explain in more detail what the issue is?

It seems like the error in your screenshot is coming from Anurag Hazra's GitHub Readme Stats and not from Streak Stats.

I think @purnasth posted the wrong screenshot, @DenverCoder1 here you are. Screenshot 2023-08-31 at 9 52 16 AM

When there is a lot of traffic to the Heroku server, the GitHub API seems to stop sending back content, likely as a form of ratelimiting.

To avoid this issue, I recommend self-hosting the project. There are steps in the readme, I just added a new method for deploying with Vercel entirely online. It's free and shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to set up.

This particular issue has resolved itself at least for now. As far as I can tell there isn't much I can do to prevent it from happening besides telling people to use their own access tokens. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

I'm so grateful that you took the time to explain what occurred to me since I was completely puzzled and lost. I'll make an effort to move the process toward self-hosting.
