You have exceeded a secondary rate limit.

[makeitso4u]

for the last week no matter what i look for on git hub even waiting in some cases the next day any search i do i get You have exceeded a secondary rate limit.
How do i get around from what i see is a permanent block for searching on Github?

[queenofcorgis]

Hey there! 👋

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @makeitso4u ! We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category. The Accessibility category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the digital accessibility of GitHub products. Digital accessibility means that GitHub tools, and technologies, are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.

I've gone ahead and moved this to the correct category for you. Good luck!

[realrandolph]

How does this have anything to do with disability accessibility?

[makeitso4u]

Hi thanks for the reply but even if I search on the home page of git hub I constantly get this error and even logging in and searching same issue

[makeitso4u]

because duplicates dont fix the issue by the way its still the same two weeks later and not fixed

[MasterInQuestion]

    Posting duplicates wouldn't either.
    And it makes things harder (for bad aggregation), were it planned be fixed.

    However, you have your right to express your frustration in the manner you like.

[makeitso4u]

indeed i had it in the right area and as you see from the second comment the Maintainer Moved the conversation to where it should get an answer .. His or / Her words I've gone ahead and moved this to the correct category for you. Good luck!

makeitso4u: because duplicates dont fix the issue

MasterInQuestion: Posting duplicates wouldn't either.

Exactly, a book example of their hypocrisy. Maybe every time they create a duplicate-thread, we should point it out to them by their own words: "It's not helpful to create X duplicated threads" because "it doesn't fix the issue". Besides, providing links to already existing duplicate threads is helpful at least partially, like I already mentioned in previous comment.

[makeitso4u]

yea good to see the issue is still not fixed , yesterday was working away all day on a project not an issue. this morning 10-16am GMT same old issue i even tried on my mobile via mobile data , Come on Github your site is clearly broke , fix it

Obvious its too hard to fix the issue as its still the same 2 weeks later that or the devs at Github don't read the posts or this would be fixed.
1 . VPN on or off issue is there
2. any device its there
3. multiple locations and mobile data from 3 different providers issue is there

Whoa there
you have exceeded a secondary rate limit , all am doing is typing in the search and boom , two weeks now of not having the ability to search is c##p and frustrating.
Below Gif Video shows after 3 days away from Github and my first search of the day

[maxmbed]

I just have the same "Whoa there !" panic. Can't search anything on Github anymore 👍

[Comnenus]

Any updates on this from GitHub?

[makeitso4u]

Fact its still the same for me I would say its on the never to be fixed fingers

[aritorhamo]

It's been a long time since I visited GitHub the last time (and I have never been been a frequent visitor), and now I immediately got "You have exceeded a secondary rate limit" when I tried to search the GitHub page of a certain piece of software. I'm sorry if this is not a useful comment, but I wanted to bring up that this isn't happening because of visiting the site a lot.

[makeitso4u]

It's an issue that's way taking way to long to fix. That or they can't fix it.
In a different country Sunday until today and I was getting the same stupid "You have exceeded a secondary rate limit"

Getting a real pain in the bottom 3 weeks now can't search for a thing even by name

[Yazan12112]

finally, they fixed it!

[mcmara]

Same here. This evening, like many other days, I did open github on Safari (macOS Sequoia), typed a keywod on the search field and immediately I received the "Whoa there!". Clearly a bug on github side, considering that it was triggered by one simple search. I get the "whoa" exclusively on iDevices (iPad and MacBook Pro mostly). Also I get the same at work, where I use several MBPs for software development, under different domain names (including government domains). Could it be some incompatibility with the Apple browsers?

    Likely not really intended.
    But of actual technical difficulty.

I'm not using apple products. It's always possible that there are multiple issues with the same symptoms, but apple isn't part of the equation for me. Sent from Proton Mail Android

Still experiencing this issue for the past few weeks and just encountered this a few moments ago which has finally caused me to leave my nice warm comfort of anonymity and venture out into the scary world of forums to meekly say, "Hey, I'm experiencing this too, mates".

So, no, not fixed.
