I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn't push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.
Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn't accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn't find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them
