In our docs, "Global Upload Token" refers to two unrelated tokens:
the "org-level token" that a user can find in the settings page for their org in Codecov
the "self-hosted service-wide token" that a self-hosted deployment specifies in, for example, github.global_upload_token in the installation yaml
We should give one (or both) of them a different name and make sure UX is updated accordingly.
The minimal fix would probably be to rename the self-hosted token since the docs and UX mostly are referring to the org-level token. We would want to rename the YAML option and update the docs, but still accept the old name in the YAML so we don't break anybody. We should also update the code because, unlike the docs, "Global Upload Token" in the code generally refers to this self-hosted option.
