The robot has “Developer” rights, I’ve tried bumping it “Admin” but it still fails. It’s supposed to have rights for publishing all projects

Any idea what could be the problem here?

I created a new branch, re-added the token to github and then all of a sudden it started working. I’m not sure what was causing the problem, this can be closed.
