A: We handle these automatically in most cases.
There are two different limits that are relevant when using GitHub:

1) First Rate Limit:

This is handled by Simply Static, we basically pause the process for a while (we get the exact time back from the API) and continue the process afterward.

2) Secondary Rate Limit:

This happens if too many requests to the API happen at the same time.
We have "throttling" implemented but deactivated by default.

You can quickly enable it with the following code snippet:

add_filter('ssp_throttle_github_request', '__return_true' );

Once added, we will slow down the requests per second to avoid hitting the limit for you.
