      GitHub has recently decreased their limits for unauthenticated requests. See https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver/actions/runs/15212391187/job/42795732237?pr=2349 for an example failure:

      (api/pymongo/asynchronous/mongo_client: line  191) broken    https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/retryable-writes/retryable-writes.md - 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for url: https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/retryable-writes/retryable-writes.md

      We can use https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-linkcheck_auth to use the GitHub token in the CI job.
