Yes, it's not the rate limits that are the problem per se but GitHub's tendency to log you out and make you go through 2fa.

If they would let me stay logged in for a year then I wouldn't care so much.

You might be afflicted with some SSO or enterprise thing, I haven't logged into Github on my personal account in years.

  • Nope, just normal GitHub account.

    Though GitHub did force me to use 2fa earlier because they said I have a "popular repo", so perhaps my account is considered high risk. Or maybe it's triggered by travelling and changing IP locations? I have no clue, but it's annoying to have to 2fa more than once in a blue moon.
