We've started experiencing the same as well but can't pinpoint when it started. We've consistently been on version 1.71.0 and the only thing that stands out is the Docker image is no longer being built with ca-certificates package which could explain the failed communication with HTTPS not fully functional. That also coincides, looking at the Docker build output, with a minor update on Alpine from 3.20 to 3.21 so not sure if that's even related to this action.

@mspray-vizio The issue was related to token permission. Those tokens was created by a member of the github org and it's resolved by using token from owner

Wow, thank you @jithsree ! Followed up with our security team and found out that yep, during end of year code freeze they did maintenance to convert PATs from owners to a bot account (which are just members) in the repo secrets. Once we tested with an owner PAT, worked perfectly.

EDIT: Actually, it turned out to even be "dumber" than that 🤦 The bot user was only added with read access to our repo. Once we bumped up the perms, even the bot member PAT worked (which is preferable for our use case). Thank you again for the follow up and getting our brains out of the holiday fugue state :)
