API rate limit exceeded #63

Closed ahrtr closed 1 year ago

Describe the problem

We are constantly getting this error recently,

Run arduino/setup-protoc@64c0c85d18e984422218383b81c52f8b077404d3
  with:
    version: 3.14.0
    include-pre-releases: false
Error: API rate limit exceeded for 40.84.170.113. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

I see a similar issue https://github.com/actions/setup-go/issues/16 , which I think you may refer to.

To reproduce

We see this error each time when we merge a PR, https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/main/.github/workflows/static-analysis.yaml

Expected behavior

Successful

'arduino/setup-protoc' version

v1.1.2

Additional context

No response

Hi @ahrtr. You must provide an access token via the action's repo-token input to get a higher GitHub API request allocation to avoid rate limiting.

You will find the automatically generated secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN token to be convenient for this purpose. See the readme for an example of that:
