Github DVCS Repo Doesn't Sync

[Yevgeny Ananin]

I have a repo that has never been able to synchronize.  It's been stuck for 4 months with the message

Sync Paused: GitHub rate limit was exceeded. Syncing will automatically resume later.

The repo has just over 5,000 commits.  What I've done so far:

• Removed all other repos that have a substantial number of commits from the DVCS configuration page, so that they don't count against our API limit.
• Contacted Github support, and they promised to temporarily raise our API limit from 5,000 to 15,000 for three days.
• After the API limit was increased, I clicked the refresh button next to the repo name on the DVCS config page.  The error message did not go away.
• After the API limit was increased, I tried removing the repo from the list on the DVCS config page, and then re-adding it.  The error message did not go away.

That was three days ago that Github raised our API limit but the repo is still showing the same error.  I really don't know what else to try.  This is an important project for us and it would be really helpful to finally get smart commits working.

Github only allows 5000 requests per hour, regardless of the source. This means, if there are any other requests that you have been sent to Github (i.e: from any other applications), the limit would be used up together.
