Too Many Requests

[beak85]

Does anybody else have issues with Guthub giving a 'Too Many Requests' error when your class tries to create their accounts? I assume it is because all of the requests are coming from the same IP address (which is our school filter). They probably think it is an attack. Does anyone have a work-around? It's only 12 students right now, but it seems overly sensitive.

We've seen these issues before. Creating multiple accounts in a short period of time from the same IP (e.g., school network) can sometimes cause GitHub to flag your students' accounts as suspicious or spam, which may lead to account suspension. If possible, we recommend having your students create their GitHub accounts at home or staggering the account creation times.

That happened to us the first year I used GH Classroom years ago. Told the kids to create their accounts at home or use their phones.
