Unable to run langgraph up when upstream server is down

[bibstha]

So today, when developing locally and testing my graph with the langchain api, suddenly without any change langchain up started failing for a short period.

.env file had the right env variable and all, it was surprising.

Then I checked smith.langchain.com which showed failure making request to api.smith.langchain.com

This was however temporary and very soon, everything came back.

However it's a very bad experience to have local development blocked due to api downtime upstream.
Is there a way to cache the licence check and have it run maybe once a day?
