I think its because the rate limit for unauthenticated github api calls is very low

Exactly, the rate limit is 60 calls per hour for unauthenticated requests

The Job failed with the following error. To solve that problem we can authenticate the request to increase the rate limit to 1000 calls per hour, or read the reset value from the response header to schedule a new job

I guess we can authenticate the request
