Post it like "I don't seem to be able to view unless I login" or "Does anyone else find that they need to login" not as a statement of fact.

Still an A-Grade Muppet headline, because you very clearly can still browse code when you're not logged in.
Aged like wine now you've posted that.
Linked issue clearly demonstrates otherwise.

Since Microsoft is struggling to make ends meet, maybe they could throw a captcha or proof of work like Anubis by xe iaso.
They already disabled code search for unauthenticated users. Its totally plausible they will disable code browsing as well.

I'm using Firefox and Brave on Linux from a residential internet provider in Europe and the 429 error triggers consistantly on both browsers. Not sure I would consider my setup questionable considering their target audience.
