 ### Avoiding rate limit issues
 
-`setup-python` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Python distributions, `setup-python` downloads distributions from [`actions/python-versions`](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/python-versions` are by default made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during downloading that looks like: `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for YOUR_IP. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)`.

 To get a higher rate limit, you can [generate a personal access token (PAT) on github.com](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and pass it as the `token` input for the action. It is important to understand that this needs to be a token from github.com and _not_ from your GHES instance. If you or your colleagues do not yet have a github.com account, you might need to create one.

+Requests should now be authenticated. To ensure this was set up correctly, if you have access to your runner, you can simply test this with Github's [rate limit API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/rate-limit). However, if you do not have access to your runner, you can confirm authentication via the following workaround:
 
 1. Enable debugging for your github actions by following [these instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/monitoring-and-troubleshooting-workflows/enabling-debug-logging)
-2. If you do not have access to your github runner's console, start a job with a `python-version` that you are sure wasn't used yet to avoid it simply being read from cache.

 3. In your github action logs, check for the following line:
 
 ```
     Version 3.8 was not found in the local cache
     ##[debug]Getting manifest from actions/python-versions@main
-    ##[debug]set auth  <--- Make sure this line exists.

-4. If you have access to your runner's console, you can manually trigger the rate limit by running the following line 60 times (or less, until you get an error response):
-
-```
-    curl -I https://api.github.com/users/octocat/orgs

-5. Now, trigger your github action run. It will fail if auth was not successful, but run through if it was.

 ### No access to github.com
 If the runner is not able to access github.com, any Python versions requested during a workflow run must come from the runner's tool cache. See "[Setting up the tool cache on self-hosted runners without internet access](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.2/admin/github-actions/managing-access-to-actions-from-githubcom/setting-up-the-tool-cache-on-self-hosted-runners-without-internet-access)" for more information.
