403 rate limit exceeded

[lanzz]

Describe the bug/error I've been relog farming and started getting "403 rate limit exceeded" error while checking for updates. Initially I thought it was an Elite server problem and not a min-ed-launcher problem, but it looks like it was GitHub-related.

Perhaps exceeding the rate limit when checking for updates shouldn't be treated as a fatal error and the tool should proceed to launch Elite anyway?

Yeah, it should only be a warning. I'll add that to the todo list.

If you're re-logging though, you can use the /restart feature as that will skip all of the initialization stuff.
