CI error on Windows tests

Error message

RuntimeError: GitHub rate limit exceeded and GITHUB_TOKEN not set; suggest setting GITHUB_TOKEN in order to get increased rate limit

It suggests setting a token. Should we do that to prevent this flaky test failure? @h-mayorquin (you're always the CI king).

See this run for an example:

I think that the issue is that at that time there were too many CI jobs in parallel. Let's wait a bit and retrigger

Yeah sono impaziente. Me dispiace. haha.

Let's keep an eye on this, we have way more runners on neuroconv and this is not a common problem there.

I've only started seeing it in the past month-ish and only on Windows runners. Just so you have what I have seen.

It might be worth setting a token to remove this as a possibility, the permitted API calls go from 60 per hour unauthenticated to 5000 per hour with a token so should never be an issue once the token is set. I think setting it up is quite simple (famous last words) but needs to be done by the repo / organisation owner.

How about we try to keep a rough count here in this issue and if it gets high enough we convince Alessio ;)

Yes sounds good!
