Describe the bug

I am having an issue with a git-repo-scanner + gitleaks working in concert to scan my company's org, which has over 2k repos. The scan is ending around 900 repos with the following error:

INFO:git_repo_scanner: 901 - crp-legacy-ui-dhtmlWins
INFO:git_repo_scanner: Github API Exception: 403 -> You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism. Please wait a few minutes before you try again.

This is causing CrashLoopBackoff events with the pod. Ultimately the job fails with error.

I understand what the error is telling me. My main question is: What is the largest number of repos does this scanner support? I would like to scan my entire org in one run, but I have not been successful, with the number of repos and the GH API throttle limits. The --ignore-repo is a start, but seems not too effective given my large list of repos.

Other questions:
Is there a way to throttle api calls?
Is there a recommended number of batches I should run with?
Would there be a way to pass an argument to break up the scans?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install via helm: see second screenshot below.
2. Create a git-repo-scanner yaml file.
3. Run the git-repo-scanner job on a github org with over 2000 repos and with cascadingrules triggering gitleaks.
4. Tail the created job's log, for example: k logs job/scan-gh-repo-scan-org-coretech-wdbns -c git-repo-scanner -f
5. See 403 error in the first screenshot below.
