Crash whilst generating report

Describe the bug

Hi there, and happy new year 🎉

I'm trying out this action on relatively large organization (~1k repositories) and finding that it crashes out after a minute or so, in approximately the same place each time.

The traceback isn't obviously about rate limiting so I thought I'd raise an issue:

Traceback (most recent call last):

@skye-pp thanks for raising this error. I'm looking into it now.

[jmeridth]

Found a different issue, getting that merged and released. But we are aware of rate limiting needed (reference github/github-ospo#77). I'll work on it this weekend. Again, thank you for raising the flag.

[skye-pp]

Thanks! Just to make sure I understand, are you saying you think the error is related to rate limiting, or it was related to the separate issue you found and fixed?

[jmeridth]

@skye-pp I believe your trace lends towards rate limiting. You wouldn't have authenticated successfully (when using a PAT) if it was the other issue (fixed with 2.1.0 release). If you want to pull 2.1.0 and retry, that'd be appreciated to confirm.

@skye-pp I looked at this over the weekend. We have a few paths forward. I'm speaking with other maintainers on how best we want to proceed.

Hey @jmeridth - any word on a path forward? 🙂
