GitHub API limits prevent Gitea project from migrating issues

I hope my title does not fall in the &quot;editorialized titles&quot; rule, but I had to summarize two toots in that Mastodon thread into the 80 chars limit. The full text is:<p>&quot;I&#x27;m not sure if you&#x27;ve tried to migrate a repo with 20K+ issues&#x2F;PRs (and all the comments&#x2F;other metadata that comes with it) from github, but their ratelimits are extremely low. So we are making progress towards migrating away, but we don&#x27;t want to lose any information in the move. We are in fact using gitea every day, and have moved all but the main repo to gitea.com.&quot;<p>and<p>&quot;our migration has been in the process for a while, but every time we run it we find that our attempts were missing some data, so we need to re-run to fetch missing data, if we had higher limits it wouldn&#x27;t take so long to find these issues. Github doesn&#x27;t provide tokens with higher limits, so we have to work around that. We even had people with GHE subscriptions ask, and they got the same response.&quot;
