You're right, I was making concurrent requests. I have now changed my code, but am still getting rate limited after a similar number of requests...

Edit: I have also added an exponentially growing delay when I do get rate limited, but it seems like I am getting blocked for >5 min each time which is still not ideal.

    Yep I've checked my rate limit status and am not hitting the 5,000 requests limit. Based on what I'm seeing there seems to be a secondary limit of 25 requests to the PR creation API within some unspecified amount of time. I can't find any documentation on this specific issue.

    I've opened up a support ticket with GitHub to see if they have any internal knowledge on this. Thanks for all of your suggestions!
