Thank you for opening this issue! I confirmed your finding with the engineering team:
GITHUB_TOKEN is limited to 1000 requests per hour per repository. For organizations that belong to a GitHub Enterprise Cloud account, this limit is 15,000 requests per hour per repository.
I updated your PR with this info. Thank you again for your contribution! 💖 I'll get this merged down for you.

What's being changed:
Adding small note to existing rate limit doc, that should probably be word-smithed by someone from the product team.
