Solutions

1. Check the HTTP status and payload in the message: 401/403 mean token or permission problems, 404 means a wrong owner/repo/project number, 422 means an invalid request body.
2. Verify the token has the required scopes (repo, project) and retry with corrected endpoint parameters.

When it happens
