Allow users to manually abort

[payne911]

Potentially:

• When reaching 80% of the remaining Rate Limited calls
• Turn the "loading" button red and if clicked: abort

A proposed implementation was made there: https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io/issues/7#issuecomment-787044619

Aborting all ongoing Promises isn't as trivial as I thought. There is a partial solution, but I'm still waiting on something that fulfills the 3 constraints listed there: https://stackoverflow.com/q/67086017/9768291

what about using AbortController? See https://github.com/octokit/rest.js/blob/2c7bf0c4c1121e03dae135768f20b983f1015b78/docs/src/pages/api/03_request_formats.md

Say I have 100 calls to make, and that after 70 I realize I need to stop. From what I understand, the AbortController indeed helps with avoiding the necessity to await the 70 calls to receive a response. But would it help with making sure that the following 30 requests that were supposed to be issued would get cancelled before being executed?

I didn't used AbortController API yet. But I guess each call could have its own abort signal, so you can invoke those controllers as you wish as long you track them properly
