Handle rate limit

[prein]

Did you consider handling GH API rate limits with exponential backoff?
Alternative idea: run the tool on schedule and collect data in chunks and combine later. Or collect data incrementally. Makes sense?

Hi @prein

The current solution if you're running into rate limits is to run on a shorter time-frame, or to filter out misc repos.

What's the maximum you've been able to run with? 7 days?

Full historical data is available for actuated customers stored in a performant database, with insights added.

Hi @alexellis and thanks for reply. The max I can do for all repos is 1d, I can do 7d for the most busy repo.
