Problem
brev upgrade and other CLI script paths call https://api.github.com/... unauthenticated, which GitHub caps at 60 req/hour per IP. Behind a VPN corporate egress, many users share one public IP and drain that bucket together, causing:
403 Forbidden API rate limit exceeded
Fix
Send an Authorization token (from GITHUB_TOKEN, falling back to gh auth token) on GitHub API calls so each user uses their own ~5,000/hr authenticated quota. The token is optional if none is found, calls fall back to the existing unauthenticated behavior.
