Why would the changelog update not include this? it's the most salient piece of information.
I thought I was just misreading it and failing to see where they stated what the new rate limits were, since that's what anyone would care about when reading it.

I don't know. The limits in the comment that you're replying to are unchanged from where they were a year ago.
So far I don't see anything that has changed, and without an explanation from GitHub I don't think we'll know for sure what has changed.
because it will go way lower soon. and because they don't have to.
they already have all your code. they've won.
you are not ... you don't have any part of your body in reality, do you? you have left the room.
If people training LLMs are excessively scraping GitHub, it is well within GitHub's purview to limit that activity. It's their site and it's up to them to make sure that it stays available. If that means that they curtail the activity of abusive users, then of course they're going to do that.
it was never about avoid scrapers. that's just the excuse. they own the scrapers too, remember.
why do you think before they blocked non logged in users from even searching? they need your data and they are getting it exactly in their terms. because as I've said, they have already won.
