@cbrnr I added a lot of rate limit logging in the pre-release version of the extension. If you see the rate limit error again, could you please share the output of “GitHub Pull Request” over in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/issues/3847?
The rate limit issue has been fixed. We don’t have enough info continue investigating the bad credentials issue.
