Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to give a different kind of token to prevent this, and because issues can't be deleted I'll have to do the rest of my import manually.
I haven't really used this in a while, so correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the --statedir argument should allow you to continue an import? But you do need to use it right from the start :(
Oh good point, I didn't try that. I ended up doing the rest manually, fortunately it only skipped my archived cards. Thanks for the advice though.
Is this using an oauth token or key that gives it the more relaxed rate limiting? If not, it would help.
it doesn't, but it tracks the cards that've already been imported so should start from where the last card failed
My problems are resolved anyway since I finished my only import. Want to leave this open or close it and have people use --statedir as a workaround?
Yeah; it's certainly not resolved. Potentially I should force --statedir as non-optional so that nobody accidentally hits this with no way out
