Bug#1149597: src:spyder flaky autopkgtest: rate limit exceeded

[Paul Gevers]

Source: spyder
Version: 6.1.7+ds-2
Severity: important
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky

Dear maintainer(s),

I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package because 
transversely it blocked src:linux from migrating. I noticed that it 
regularly fails. One of the reasons seems to be that the tests use an 
github API that is rate limited. Therefor it might not be great to use 
during autopkgtesting.

Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help and some more information
from our infrastructure.

Paul
