[#18] - GitHub restrictions or bug

I'm testing the Patchtester on a local system with a Git client synchronized Cms clone. I first got a red + a blue message when I applied a patch. i.e.didn't work.
A day later I get no patches listed at all. My credentials are set in the options and should be ok.
Is there a personal restriction or is it a repository restriction? I found some restrictions mentioned in the GitHub Api doc referring to "you". Or is it a bug?
Error message:
Notice:

Sorry it's taken forever to get back to this.
GitHub does have a rate limit restriction and based on how older incarnations of this code were pulling data, it was possible to exhaust it rather quickly (even with credentials stored). I've made some changes that completely change how often GitHub is actually accessed.
The limit resets each hour, so if it does max out again, just wait out the period and try again.
