[BUG]: createRepoVariable 401

[austenstone]

What happened?

I can't understand why but I can't call createRepoVariable without getting a 401.

          await octokit.rest.actions.createRepoVariable({
            ...ownerRepo,
            name: variableName(context.workflow, inputDate),
            value: context.ref,
          });

This works just fine...

          fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/austenstone/schedule/actions/variables', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
              'Authorization': `token ${inputs.token}`,
              'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
              name: variableName(context.workflow, inputDate),
              value: context.ref,
            }),
          });

Can you test directly with @octokit/rest you are using @actions/github?
