The "most used languages" one is back and working as normal, but the github stats one

https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=*yourusernamehere*&show_icons=true&theme=transparent

is still not working.

I had the same error, but I solved the issue by changing from https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app to https://github-readme-stats-ruby-one.vercel.app

I had the same error, but I solved the issue by changing from to https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app``https://github-readme-stats-ruby-one.vercel.app

thanks! It's a good way.

FYI, Might not be an ideal solution to use someone else's URL though, recommended would be if you folks deploy it on your own Vercel instance

This https://github-readme-stats-ruby-one.vercel.app url is @claudiotancredi's and if all of you start using it his PAT & Vercel instance will get exhausted.

[therealbenpai]

can confirm

Something went wrong! file an issue at https://tiny.one/readme-stats
Maximum retries exceeded Please add an env variable called PAT_1 with your github token in vercel

What is the quick-fix???

The easiest way is to deploy your own Vercel instance (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#deploy-on-your-own). This can be replaced by a GitHub action when it is released (see #2179).

[RohanDhalpe]

i also have same error

[rickstaa]

In case anyone else has the same problem, for me it was fixed by changing the theme.

Old theme: <img height="140em" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=joaocoelhoo&layout=compact&theme=tokyonight">

New theme: <img height="140em" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=joaocoelhoo&layout=compact&theme=merko">

If changing the theme is not a problem for you, this may be a quick fix.

Thanks for the update. However, changing the theme will not resolve the issue directly. It will, however, break the cache and therefore update the card sooner when the Instance gets GraphQL points again.

[rickstaa]

@AishwaryaParab adding & or any other random string (i.e. random=3426342 breaks the cache but does not fix the issue. This issue is caused by our Public Vercel instance being overloaded. The best fix is to deploy your own Vercel instance.
