Hi, i've got the same problem here.
My recomendation is to make a fork form the original repo and then, deploy it on your own vercel app.
This worked very well for me.
Walktrough the tutorial on READ ME file form the original repo:
"

On Vercel

Since the GitHub API only allows 5k requests per hour, my https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api could possibly hit the rate limiter. If you host it on your own Vercel server, then you do not have to worry about anything. Click on the deploy button to get started!

Note Since https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/pull/58, we should be able to handle more than 5k requests and have fewer issues with downtime 😁.

Note If you are on the Pro (i.e. paid) Vercel plan, the maxDuration value found in the Vercel.json can be increased when your Vercel instance frequently times out during the card request. You are advised to keep this value lower than 30 seconds to prevent high memory usage.

This will make your own links for the stats so it won't broke down when the limit access was reached.

Hope that's helpful.
Cheers!

Hi, I simply added &PAT_1 to the end of my github link and it worked for me.

Hey good to know, much simplier than deploying another project.!

Please check #1471. This is caused by GitHub's rate limits being reached. The only way to solve this is to deploy your own vercel instance. Adding a random string like &PAT_1 or &ANY_RANDOM_STRING_THAT_IS_NO_QUERY or changing to HTTPS works because this breaks the cache.
