Authentication issues when renewing GH_TOKEN

[Sam54000]

Hi, I have been using the workflow for a while now. As my GH_TOKEN expires I renewed it as usual (and I took care to tick the correct permissions). But since recently the workflow throw a 403 error telling me that the access is denied: 522 CRITICAL 403 {"message": "Resource not accessible by integration", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/repos/contents#create-or-update-file-contents"}

Do you have any idea of what it would be?

Here is the log

Hi @Sam54000, refer https://github.com/athul/waka-readme/issues/114#issuecomment-1398053158. You really do not need GH_TOKEN on profile readme.

But if you want to use it, your token access summary should be like so.

Hi @joe733 I tried without the GH_TOKEN but somewhat it wasn't working either. I tried the Fine-grained token instead of the Classic one and now it works. Thanks!

Without GH_TOKEN you need to set read-write permission in Code and automation → Actions → General → Workflow permissions section of your profile repository settings. Anyway glad it worked, thanks for using waka-readme!
