Please attach a copy of config.yaml or config.ini to the issue.

Describe the bug
When I launch the add-on manager, it returns a Github API Error that says:

Github servers returned an error; please try again in a few minutes.
The error was: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

To Reproduce
Download the add-on manager > Extract the ZIP file > Click on the GW2 add-on manager application > Wait for it to load . . . then the pop-up comes up with the error message.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

don't forget to attach the config file to the issue
I don't know what that is. I just downloaded the file, tried to run the installation application, and got the error above.

Same problem here the after update of the Addon-Manager I updated shorty it broke in middle of the update now only the same error. Sounds like an anti-scrapper stuff from GitHub.

Ah just read on another issue that might be caused by github having a hard limitation on the connection. Therefore, I need to wait 1h

[Psychotopia]

This is an error returned from the GitHub API and the author is unwilling to fix.
