Those warnings are not from nvf. You have too many flake inputs.

Consider setting the token as advertised.

my first build was full of nvf pulls errors, i just notice these errors the moment i closed my terminal
i rebuilt second time(see no path's changed (+0, -0)), and these errors poped-in because im already rate limited.

ill drop nvf errors next time i rebuild with update

Might be that building the plugins from source is triggering the rate limit. Enable nvf's binary cache if you haven't.
