feels more like a bug with ncc than with the package? require("@octokit/plugin-throttling") doesn't work because it's an ESM module now, try import("@octokit/plugin-throttling")

Other users have experienced issues where tooling cannot find the module, and adding in a main field has helped them See https://github.com/octokit/core.js/pull/662

If require does not work, should the documentation (which says to use require) be updated?

Note that ncc is not involved in the bug report here; I simply installed the package through NPM and tried to load it with require.

Yes, the docs need updating, but again, you should read the release notes as you seem to be upgrading this package

Fixed by #679

Thanks - I expect this will save people a lot of time with troubleshooting in future.
