I am trying to find any kind of documentation regarding rate limits of github.

the docs say that you can only do 60 requests per hour for unauthenticated requests (which most users will be).

can someone provide more info on these limitations? and how to deal with them?
as far as i can understand, there's no rate limit on the urls. so, using https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/linking-to-releases might be better?

Got rate-limited by GitHub for the first time this morning while doing a self-update check.

I just handled it by checking the result of fetch and telling the user to check back later.

Here's more info on GH rate limits - https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting
