github-username-cli's Issues

Even with the token the rate limit is hit quickly

I hit rate limit with just around 10 calls. Also changing token after that also not helping. Not sure if token is actually being used. Please help.
I use below command

github-username <email> --token=<token>

HttpError: API rate limit exceeded for X.X.X.X (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)
