Unfortunately, the only person with sufficient access rights to remove the repository label is currently unreachable, so we are notifying you here. As a small team, we cannot handle the increased volume of PRs and issues that the event brings. We appreciate your understanding. + > [!IMPORTANT]\ > Since the GitHub API only [allows 5k requests per hour per user account](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/resource-limitations), the public Vercel instance hosted on `https://github-readme-stats-phi-jet-58.vercel.app/api` could possibly hit the rate limiter (see [#1471](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1471)). We use caching to prevent this from happening (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#common-options). You can turn off these rate limit protections by deploying [your own Vercel instance](#disable-rate-limit-protections).
