Rate limit still set to 60 even after applying a PAT.

[kaykhan]

Hi i have created a PAT on a github account and im trying to see if the rate limit has increased to 5000 as suggested by the following documentation. https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28#primary-rate-limit-for-authenticated-users

But despite supplying the PAT i am still only getting 60 rate limit value.

What is happening here? Could the rateLimit function not be applying the auth token?

import { Octokit } from "@octokit/rest";

async function GetAPIRateLimit() {
    const octokit = new Octokit({
        auth: "token_redacted",
    });

    const ratel = await octokit.rateLimit.get();
    console.log(ratel);
}

GetAPIRateLimit();

I cannot reproduce the problem. Most likely the token you are setting is undefined. The request headers in your error do not show the authorization header that means that octokit does not have a token.

It might be a good idea to through a helpful error when the auth option is set to undefined or an empty string to help folks catch problems more easily 🤔
