If it is rate limiting it would be nice to have a more meaningful error message

I am also suffering from this issue and adding repo-token doesn't mitigate the situation.

It seems that the version we were depending on (3.20.1) is too old that the API call to GitHub release times out. Perhaps it is better to retrieve the release binary directly for fully-qualified version.

This is due to a change in version filtering

setup-protoc/src/installer.ts

Line 33 in c65c819

/^(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)(?:-((?:0|[1-9]\d*|\d*[a-zA-Z-][0-9a-zA-Z-]*)(?:\.(?:0|[1-9]\d*|\d*[a-zA-Z-][0-9a-zA-Z-]*))*))?(?:\+([0-9a-zA-Z-]+(?:\.[0-9a-zA-Z-]+)*))?$/gm;

v3.20.3 gets filtered out.
