The PR was pulled so this issue should no longer occur. I’ll leave this open for another day or so, and let me know if people are still seeing any problems.

As soon as this is merged we won’t use the GitHub api any more and this problem will disappear https://github.com/helm/helm/pull/12397

If you run curl https://api.github.com/repos/helm/helm/releases/latest -vvv it will show you the rate limits available. It could even be someone else that is using your proxy IP that is using your github api rate limit with a totally unrelated api call.

The more I think about this problem, the more it feels like to me we should push the latest version to get.helm.sh/latest then we can avoid making any github api calls at all.
