[Bug]: `KeyError: 'tag_name'` because of GitHub API's rate limit

[rafael de bem]

Describe the bug

If you run the script in quick succession, you'll get rate-limited by GitHub's API when checking the script's version (utils/version.py#10).

This is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/debem/personal/storieslettuce/RedditVideoMakerBot/main.py", line 44, in <module>
    checkversion(__VERSION__)
  File "/home/debem/personal/storieslettuce/RedditVideoMakerBot/utils/version.py", line 10, in checkversion
    latestversion = response.json()["tag_name"]
KeyError: 'tag_name'

There are a few ways to fix this issue. One of them is to verify the API response and check if code 403 is returned (GitHub's rate limit) and ignore it, like so:

def checkversion(__VERSION__: str):
    response = requests.get(
        "https://api.github.com/repos/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot/releases/latest"
    )
    if response.status_code == 403:  # Rate limit
        print(f"Skipping script version check because we exceeded GitHub's rate limit. Using version ({__VERSION__}).")
        return
    latestversion = response.json()["tag_name"]
