TO-DROP: investigate "secondary rate limit" problem

In
https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/actions/runs/10818898105/job/30015545237#step:3:125466
as well as in
https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/actions/runs/10819147877/job/30016365271#step:3:125438
I hit the following snag:

	RequestError [HttpError]: You have exceeded a secondary rate
	limit. Please wait a few minutes before you try again. [...]

First of all, let's try to trigger this reliably, then work around it.
