Observed a similar issue as for the marketplace bindings and 429 error. The description of bindings, even the already installed ones, can’t be retrieved. Is this an already known issue?

429: Too Many Requests For more on scraping GitHub and how it may affect your rights, please review our Terms of Service ( [GitHub Terms of Service - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service) ).

**Edit 18.08.2026:** today its working out again. Will further observe.
