Cannot authorize at GitHub

I am currently getting this issue too. looking at the api call its to
https://api.github.com/repos/twitchdev/developer-rig/releases/latest

with the response:
{
“message”: “API rate limit exceeded for 203.xxx.xxx.xx. (But here’s the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)”,
“documentation_url”: “https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting
}

I fired it up for the first time in a couple of days so not sure if its actually limited by my IP or everyones. I can close it but the rest of the app is pretty haywire, so its probably not finishing setting up the state of the app.
