I see that go 1.18 is in the go.mod files...maybe that is the "issue"...should it be reading the version file instead?

Example based on the two examples above?:

1. https://github.com/projen/projen-go/blob/main/projen/version
2. https://github.com/cdklabs/generative-ai-cdk-constructs-go/blob/main/generative-ai-cdk-constructs/version

The badge you're requesting shows the supported go version for the given repo, not the package version itself. So these are working as expected. So if you request https://img.shields.io/github/go-mod/go-version/gohugoio/hugo for example, it will tell you v1.21.8 which is correct https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/665ac949bdc2e54d378ef5c00778c830440a1a9d/go.mod#L172

There is one issue here though, which is that the documentation page for this should be under the "Platform & Version Support" category, not "Version" which probably led to the confusion here. I've submitted https://github.com/badges/shields/pull/10444 fixing that.

So grateful for the rapid response. I'll use the GitHub tag method instead to derive the package version.
