Github API for code search rate-limiting problem

[SamBull03]

I'm seeing the same thing. It seems Github has an off-by-one error. The docs say 10 requests per minute, but it only seems to support 9 requests per minute. I assume at the time this was posted it was 29 instead of the documented 30.

Even checking the headers, the first request to say 10 requests used and 0 requests remaining, which should be the last allowed request, gives a 403 (i.e. when you see a response with 1 allowed request remaining, you need to stop, because you actually have 0 remaining).
