Thanks for the hint!
The rate limiting was the reason to switch to cloudflare mirror in the first place.

Currently, we are on a snapshot preceding the current cloudflare limitation, but
we will upgrade in the next weeks when preparing for the next release.

I never experienced the rate limiting outside our corporate network.
That way, maybe, rate limiting won't hit us that hard, when using the cache in our ci/cd. 

What do you think of hosting snapshot mirrors for isar based projects (or others) on our own?
