Hey @qualified-charlie ,

Root cause: mise is making unauthenticated requests to the GitHub API to fetch RustFS release info, and hitting the 60 req/hour anonymous limit.

Fix — set a GitHub token:

Option 1 — export in your shell

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Option 2 — use mise-specific env var

export MISE_GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Create a token at github.com/settings/tokens — you do not need to give this token any scopes. Set it as GITHUB_TOKEN in your environment. (GitHub)

To make it permanent, add it to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc. With an authenticated token, the rate limit jumps from 60 to 5,000 requests/hour.

If you just need to wait, the error already tells you the reset time: Resets at 2026-01-09 14:27:43 — just wait until then.
