Error: API rate limit exceeded when checking for updates (unauthenticated) #1230

Issue

Getting rate limit error when Copilot CLI tries to check for updates:

\
Error auto updating: Failed to fetch latest release: HttpError: API rate limit exceeded for 104.28.229.161. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)
\\

Details

  • GitHub CLI (\gh) is authenticated with a token
  • The auto-update check appears to be using an unauthenticated request
  • IP: 104.28.229.161

Expected

The auto-update check should either:

  1. Use the authenticated gh token
  2. Handle rate limits gracefully without error messages
  3. Skip the update check if unauthenticated

Environment

  • OS: Windows
  • Copilot CLI version: 0.0.400
