Thanks! So it seems to be not packages, but templates, and this comment suggests it wasn't GitHub doing the rate limiting after all: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4979#issue... > Every other language I've used allows you to build code without authenticating to a remote service. Sure, the problem here wasn't "building". It was downloading a package template (which one doesn't tend to do 60 times per hour). I agree packages shouldn't be fetched from GitHub.

I'm not entirely sure where it uses GitHub and where Hackage, but there are a few GitHub issues on the Stack repo about it: - Binary upgrade of Stack fails due to GitHub API request limit #4979 (https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4979) - GitHub rate limiting can affect Stack CI #6034 (https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/6034) And a few more. The "fix" is having Stack impersonate the user (https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/pull/6036) and authenticate to the API. This unblocks progress, but this is really a design bug and not something I think people should emulate. Every other language I've used allows you to build code without authenticating to a remote service.
