Edit: propably the best solution like they say here: #1471 (comment) is deploying on your own instance.

How to deploy your own Vercel GitHub Status instance, step-by-step.

I get that we're all developers, but I don't think deploying our own clone of this app is really a solution.
If the app has a critical bug, it has a critical bug, that will only be fixed by code/deployment changes.

If [your favorite API service] went down, all hell would break loose if they said to their users "deploy it yourself".

It's not really a bug. Vercel instances cost money. Donating to maintainers so they can afford more instances is the real solution here. This has been discussed a lot before. This is a service provided for free to the users, but sadly it's not free to maintain. Meanwhile, we can only wait. If your stats are critical for your repo, it's a good idea to deploy it yourself. Never depend critical functionality on free services.

#1772 (comment)

"This is likely caused by the public Vercel instance reaching one of the Github GraphQL limits. Multiple PAT tokens have been used to overcome these limits (see github-readme-stats/blob/master/src/common/retryer.js) but due to the popularity of GitHub-readme-stats, they sometimes run out. The best solution is to deploy your own Vercel instance. Please check this guide on how this is done. You can find more information on this problem in #1471. You can also use #1471 to let us know the limits are being reached."

@willster277 I fully understand your frustration. This issue, however, is mostly outside our control as it is caused by the popularity of this project. This popularity has increased since #hacktoberfest 😅. As explained in #1772 (comment), we use the GraphQL API for fetching the data, but this API is rate limited at 5000 points per hour (see https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/resource-limitations). The main thing we can do is add more PATs to overcome this, for this you have to be patient until @anuraghazra adds new PAT's. Because of this, we ask people to deeply their own Vercel instance to reduce the load. I also created #2121 and #2124 to mitigate the issue a bit, but we still need to review those. Hope this helps to clear up some confusion about what is causing the issue. 🤔

Hi Thanks for sharing the details, during deployment in Vercel facing an issue which gives an error popup stating the value of max duration is between 1 and 10 seconds and in order to increase please upgrade the plan. Can't it be done with the free version? or am I missing out something? . @anuraghazra @FelipeFama
