+## Using on GHES
+
+GitHub Runners come [pre-installed with Docker Buildx](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/linux/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md)
+following your virtual environment. If you specify a version or `latest` of
+Docker Buildx in your workflow, the version will be downloaded from [GitHub Releases in `docker/buildx`](https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases)
+repository. These calls to `docker/buildx` are made via unauthenticated requests,
+which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting).
+
+If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see
+rate-limit errors during downloading that looks like:
+
+```
+##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...
+```
+
+To get a higher rate limit, you can [generate a personal access token on github.com](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)
+and pass it as the `github_token` input for the action:
+
+```yaml
+uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
+with:
+  github_token: ${{ secrets.GH_DOTCOM_TOKEN }}
+  version: v0.10.1
+```
+
+If the runner is not able to access `github.com`, it will take the default one
+available on the GitHub Runner or runner's tool cache. See "[Setting up the tool cache on self-hosted runners without internet access](https://docs.github.com/en/[email protected]/admin/github-actions/managing-access-to-actions-from-githubcom/setting-up-the-tool-cache-on-self-hosted-runners-without-internet-access)"
+for more information.
