When attempting to use the api to upload a number of comments to GitHub issues, I received the following Exception
github.GithubException.GithubException: 403 {u'documentation_url': u'https://developer.github.com/v3/#abuse-rate-limits', u'message': u'You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism and have been temporarily blocked from content creation. Please retry your request again later.'}
However, I know I haven't actually hit my rate limit because right before the crashing line was called, I could see my Req Limit/Remaining values:
Req Limit: 5000, Req Remaining: 4868
The ReqRemaining value was steadily decreasing, as I was only making one API call per second. Obviously something is not being outputted properly, even if I am receiving a legitimate 403 HTTP code, it is not associated with my rate limit.
