General errors

Maximum retries exceeded

This is likely caused by the public Vercel instance reaching one of the Github GraphQL limits. Multiple PAT tokens have been used to overcome these limits (see github-readme-stats/blob/master/src/common/retryer.js) but due to the popularity of GitHub-readme-stats, they sometimes run out. The best solution is to deploy your own Vercel instance. Please check this guide on how this is done. You can find more information on this problem in #1471. You can also use #1471 to check if the Public Vercel instance is down and to let us know the limits are continuously being reached.

⚠️ PLEASE READ ⚠️

Only comment on #1471 if nobody has commented in the last three days or if you have information that could help us solve the problem. If there already is a recent comment or the label is attached, we are aware of the issue and are working on it. 🤓 Comments like "+1" and "same here" don't help anyone; they pressure the maintainer and spam their inbox. 💥

@xorinzor Thanks for letting us know. I, however, meant #1471. Somebody already flagged the problem there, so I added the label to show that we are aware of the issue. I updated the text in this issue to:

For now, I would advise people to deploy their own Vercel instance to lower the server load. Please check this guide on how this is done
