The customer has a step to execute the "lots0logs/gh-action-get-changed-files" action to list the changed files on a PR.
Recently, this action goes to failure with the following error (see here):

Error: HttpError: You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism. Please wait a few minutes before you try again.

Also see the issue (lots0logs/gh-action-get-changed-files#14) I reported in the action repository.

@BrightRan, I don't think that it is correct place for this issue. We own only content of Hosted images in this repository and we are not familiar with rate limits.

@kaisun2000 , I believe it is an issue with third-party action that you use gh-action-get-changed-files. On the quick look, it does N requests to server on every push to your PR where N is number of commits in your PR: https://github.com/lots0logs/gh-action-get-changed-files/blob/002a3dec1083f13f4e1853c5c1dc26526ac185bc/index.js#L29.
It means that for kaisun2000/helix#1, for every push, this action does 541 requests to server and I don't see any delays between them. I don't know the rate limits for GH system token but it looks like a huge number of requests

@maxim-lobanov. My pull request has 500 commits history. Let me try to "squash" them to see if that would help.

Closing the issue because it is not something that we own in this repository
