Exceeding a secondary rate limit even with 10.0.7

[victor-keltio]

Hey there, I saw that a recent release was made to use GraphQL instead of Github's API to avoid hitting the rate limits.
I bumped my @semantic-release/github version to use ^10.0.7 but even with this, I'm hitting the limits:

}

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've tried releasing a new version after having waited 10min, but I faced the same issue.
Many thanks for your work and your help :)

Hmm it's a bummer that the request and response objects are not logged, I have not seen that before.

"secondary rate limits" can be have many causes, it's what was previously referred to as abuse limit. We won't be able to 100% avoid them, but there are more things we can do to prevent them.

But first thing of business is to make sure we log out the full error object

[victor-keltio]

Hey, actually I removed part of the error as I thought it wasn't meaningful, but I guess I was wrong heh. The request and response objects are present in the logs, no worries about that.

Here is the full error log with the 2 objects:

Great, thanks @victor-keltio

But, this does look like it's still making a request to the Github Issue Search Rest API 🤔

What'd you think @gr2m!?

This request is sent to check if an open issue created by semantic-release exists. Either to close it if the releases succeeded or to avoid creating duplicated issues if one already exists. But it's only one request, it's interesting that this one got rate limited.

Can you tell me the x-github-request-id value? It's not sensitive, but I can investigate what the problem was in your case (I'm a GitHub employee).
