So I’m not going to resolve this one as a duplicate because the error you’re seeing is slightly different and its about a different repository. But it looks very similar to #3561 even down to the git error code so I think it is a duplicate.

Which means for now my approach is the same as what I laid out here. Basically a change was made in core 2022.4 where it started forcing supervisor to check for updates in every addon repository every 5 minutes. This means that every 5 minutes every HA user om the world with core >= 2022.4 and supervisor is cloning both the official add-ons repo and the community add-ons repo. My guess based on the error codes is that github does not like this activity and is blocking requests periodically to reduce load.

There is a PR merged already that changes it so core stops forcing supervisor to check for updates every 5 minutes and supervisor can resume checking on its schedule (every couple hours or so). That’s slated for the next patch (2022.4.5). If the issue continues after that has been out for a day or two (giving most users time to update) then I will start to dig into it further. Because it doesn’t really make sense otherwise, both of those repos definitely exist.

FYI 2022.4.5 out now with the mentioned fix for the hassio component
