This issue is related to the token, marked as close as I am able to fix it.

[bblommers]

Hi @BasantPandey, can you share what the fix was? DId you have to specify the permissions-field?

[BasantPandey]

I have created PAT token with full permission for the time being to fixed it.

The example provided in docs not working as expected. I think this secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't has permission to add comment on the issue. Will share you more details tomorrow.

Where can i find the details

We need to configure permissions like this:

    permissions:
      pull-requests: write

See GitHub official documentation about permissions for more information.

    permissions:
      pull-requests: write

Adding issues: write with already existing pull-requests: write solved my issue (but I was using it only for pull-requests)
