What article on docs.github.com is affected?

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

I think I have run into a rate-limit pulling docker containers from ghcr.io and were trying to find if such rate limits exist and if so, what they are and in extension how I can build a system that works well with them.

I'm not associated with the repository owner in question but just wanted to use their image in my kubernetes cluster (thus downloading it once per node).

I expected the /rate_limit API endpoint to contain a packages, the API is very useful for the other types of resources so it would be nice if it included rate-limits for the container registry as well

My expected outcome is that the rate-limits on ghcr.io are documented
