When the rate limit is exceeded while pulling dependencies, your workflow may perform more builds than usual.
When the rate limit is exceeded while uploading to the cache, the remainder of those store paths will be uploaded on the next run of the workflow.

### Upstream cache

When you configure an upstream cache for the Magic Nix Cache, any store paths fetched from that source are *not* cached because they are known to be fetchable on future workflow runs.
The default is `https://cache.nixos.org` but you can set a different upstream:

```yaml
- uses: DeterminateSystems/magic-nix-cache-action@main
with:
upstream-cache: https://my-binary-cache.com
```

## Action Options
<!--
cat action.yml| nix run nixpkgs#yq-go -- '[[ "Parameter", "Description", "Required", "Default" ], ["-", "-", "-", "-"]] + [.inputs | to_entries | sort_by(.key) | .[] | ["`" + .key + "`", .value.description, .value.required // "", .value.default // ""]] | map(join(" | ")) | .[] | "| " + . + " |"' -r
