Over-Zealous TF Rate Limit Warning about text-fabric HOT 7 CLOSED

Will have a look. Surely, deep silence should not be disturbed by rate limiting noise. By the way, if you are really intensely working on a corpus, it pays off to use the :clone specifier:

text-fabric nena:clone --checkout=clone

A = use('nena:clone', checkout='clone')

I have dealt with it in the code for v8 by now.

To be fixed with version 8 (soon)

Fantastic. And thanks for the tip Dirk.

TF now gives rate limit warning in red everytime TF is launched (even if silent="deep").

Shouldn't this warning only occur when a rate limit is exceeded? I do not care to apply for a Github token at the moment.

It depends.
A user can git clone the data repo of a corpus, then use the checkout='clone' specifier and they'll hardly use the github api. But finding the corpus and cloning it to a place on your system introduces various points of failure.

So for a super-easy first step we query the github api. But the standard rate limit is a bit short, and it is a pity to run into it by surprise. So that's why I issue the current rate limit.

The notification itself is not problematic. But the fact that it issues as a system warning seems too strong (aside from the silencing issue).

I actually quite like that the message tells me how many requests I have left.
