Constant crashes when a lot of gh actions

[juris]

With too many (20+) gh actions in place, exporter started to crash with the following error:

I'm running into the same error when scraping lots of repositories. Any update on this?

It will be fixed in upcoming release. To be specific in this commit. In the meantime you can use image.tag: v1.9.0-beta1
