Rate limited running `fastly/compute-actions/setup@v2`

[ccouzens]

We had a failed deploy caused by a rate limiting error:

Error: Unable to fetch the requested release (latest): API rate limit exceeded for 20.39.47.73. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

I presume Github Actions runner was rate limited downloading the fastly package from Github.

The IP Address is Microsoft's and presumably the IP of the Github runner.

@ccouzens That usually means the action was not supplied a GitHub token to use for the API requests.

Could you try this and see if it works for you?

 - name: Set up Fastly CLI
      uses: fastly/compute-actions/setup@v2
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

@ccouzens did using a GitHub token resolve the issue for you?

[ccouzens]

Hi, we have always had a github token setup in this workflow.

We haven't seen the issue again, so I'm dismissing it as a blip and closing the issue.

Thank you for your time.

@JakeChampion Did you mean to suggest adding a fastly token here rather than a github token here. This looks like a rate limit from fastly rather than a rate limit from github

    - uses: fastly/compute-actions/deploy@v2
      env:
        FASTLY_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FASTLY_API_TOKEN }}

[JakeChampion]

I did not, this is a GitHub rate limit and is solved by providing the token from the running action like so:

 - name: Set up Fastly CLI
      uses: fastly/compute-actions/setup@v2
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Sorry for my confusion. Thanks!
