Failing builds due to API rate limit exceeded

[JanMarvin]

Hi,

just to let you know: since yesterday (Aug 23) various r-universe builds are failing due to

Error in `gh::gh()`:
  ! GitHub API error (403): API rate limit exceeded for user ID 44377715.

See e.g. here, but I've checked a few other packages too (github.com/r-universe and pick any of the newly updated repositories). Not sure if Github has decreased the rate limit or if something else is interfering (like CRAN rebuilds etc.).

Thanks, I had noticed this too. Not sure what happened, I'll try with some other tokens.

I think this is fixed now, thanks for helping to keep an eye out!

Thanks for the build infrastructure!
