lando update fails to update lando cli

[vladigor]

When running lando update, the @lando/cli package fails with message:
API rate limit exceeded for [MY.IP.ADDR]. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit

This problem is persistent. I can wait for a hour, day, indeed several weeks and I always get this message.

All other packages can be updated successfully.

Aa a workaround: If I connect to a VPN (and hence change my IP) the problem goes away and I am able to update @lando/cli.

I've tried removing caches in ~/.lando/cache.
I've tried setting up an auth.json file to authenticate my github requests - but confess I'm not entirely sure where I need to place the auth.json file.

The problem occurs in the v3.23.1 version of lando and several versions prior to that. I generally keep lando up to date and it has been occurring for about a month.

My OS is Ubuntu 22.04 running through WSL2.
