We have sadly the same issue, this breaks a lot of CI builds for us.

just froze the dependency in your package in the meaning time

it looks like this should be resolved now in the octokit plugin directly: octokit/plugin-retry.js#432. you may need to update your lockfile

in the future, please file issues like this against the offending package directly
