[Bug]: Ratelimiting?

[sultanberisa]

What happened?

I am building an automated packaging workflow using evergreen. At some point, i noticed that my variable which would hold the download url which is dynamically retrieved via evergreen, was null. Upon checking closer i can see that i get ratelimited:

PS C:\NIP_Software\Scripts> $DownloadURL = Get-EvergreenApp -Name $AppName | Where-Object { if (!$_.Architecture -or $_.Architecture -eq "x64") {$true} else {$false} } | Where-Object { if (!$_.Channel -or $_.Channel -eq $sourcechannel) {$true} else {$false} } | Where-Object { if (!$_.Type -or $_.Type -eq $sourcepackagetype) {$true} else {$false} } | Where-Object { if (!$_.Platform -or $_.Platform -eq $sourceplatform) {$true} else {$false} } | Where-Object { if (!$_.Language -or $_.Language -eq $sourcelanguage) {$true} else {$false} } | Select -ExpandProperty URI | Select-Object -First 1

How can i avoid this / solve this somehow? If i get ratelimited during a workflow it would be pretty stupid and would require manual action, thus removing the whole point of the "workflow" haha

You can authenticate to the GitHub API, and save the authentication token to $Env:GH_TOKEN or $Env:GITHUB_TOKEN. Evergreen will then use the token when querying the API, and you won't be rate limited.

Saving my Fine-grained personal access token into $Env:GH_TOKEN or $Env:GITHUB_TOKEN in PowerShell is not working. Still recieving rate limits
