I created a brand new GitHub access token and tried to import this tiny repo (about 20 files, 7 commits) along with some of its metadata (issues, releases, labels and milestones IIRC) and it failed with a 403 error both the first time and when I tried again with a different token a couple hours later. I checked my rate limit status per GitHub's instructions and it did show 5000 API requests. Why would this import make so many requests?
