In SKARA-1731, the best practices regarding non GET requests on Github became better enforced. Unfortunately that has lead to some unexpected performance issues. I believe this is mostly caused by GraphQL requests, which are always POST, being treated as a non GET REST requests by the limiter and limited to one per second.

Reading the Integrator best practices document again (https://docs.github.com/en/rest/guides/best-practices-for-integrators?apiVersion=2022-11-28) and the GraphQL resource limitations (https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/resource-limitations) I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to limit GraphQL to one call per second, but rather just make sure you stay within the points limit.

I want to make it possible to exclude certain calls from this rate limiter to see if this can alleviate the contention we are currently seeing.

Two PRs were unable to integrate today due to this contention:
