`gh auth login` fails with an error: "Too many requests have been made in the same timeframe. (slow_down)"
Describe the bug
When I try to log in with the GitHub CLI, I get a one-time code and an error message and fail.
Please open this URL to continue in your web browser: https://github.com/login/device
Authentication in web browser failed: Too many requests in the same time frame. (slow_down)
It looks like GitHub is denying access because the CLI is calling the API (probably for polling) too many times.
I didn't try to log in that much, but I got the error.
gh version: 2.53.0 (2024-07-17)
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Type this 'gh auth login'
- Wait about 10 seconds
Expected vs actual behavior
Success to login
