TL;DR

Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to resolve the "Missing environment variables" error and potentially alleviate the rate limit issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN is correctly set in your environment, as the error messages indicate it is missing.
• Check the rate limit error message and consider implementing a delay or retry mechanism to handle the "rate_limit_error" response.
• Review your usage credits and ensure that you are not exceeding the allowed limits, despite having extra usage credit available.
• Investigate the /extra-usage report to understand how your usage is being calculated and if there are any discrepancies.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not clearly imply a specific code change.

Notes

The provided error messages suggest two separate issues: a missing environment variable and a rate limit error. Resolving the first issue may not necessarily address the second.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Set the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable and consider implementing a retry mechanism to handle rate limit errors, as the root cause of the issue appears to be related to missing environment variables and rate limiting.
