Error: Something went wrong while using readme-stats; maximum retries exceeded, request to add env variable 'PAT_1' with GitHub token in Vercel

[Madhav-MKNC]

Describe the bug

When attempting to use the "readme-stats" feature on the GitHub repository, an error message is displayed indicating that something went wrong. The error message suggests filing an issue at the provided URL, but upon visiting the URL, it shows a message stating that the maximum number of retries has been exceeded. Additionally, the error message requests the addition of an environment variable called "PAT_1" with the GitHub token in Vercel

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that the "readme-stats" feature should work without any errors or issues. It should retrieve the necessary data and display the appropriate statistics on the repository's readme file. There should be no need to manually add environment variables or encounter any maximum retries exceeded errors.

Same issue, and didn't fix by adding &PAT_1

I used HTTP instead of HTTPS and it worked.

Please check #1471. This is caused by GitHub's rate limits being reached. The only way to solve this is to deploy your own vercel instance. Adding a random string like &PAT_1 or &ANY_RANDOM_STRING_THAT_IS_NO_QUERY or changing to HTTPS works because this breaks the cache.
