Can you please retry? I am not getting this (on Ubuntu).

Could be related to GitHub rate limiting? Not sure if we handle this correctly.

I did test it on CatchyOS (arch) and Ubuntu (25.04) and no errors produced. So I don't know, might be related to Fedora (rawhide) only.

@kem-a please try updating, e.g., Popsicle or any other GitHub-hosted AppImage on the same system that has this problem. I suspect that it is related to GitHub's rate limiting, thus, all AppImages should fail here.

Tried on Fedora (rawhide) and
