Solutions

1. Re-run the command and complete the authorization promptly after the URL is printed
2. Log in to GitHub and pass SSO in the browser first, so consent only takes seconds
3. Check for system clock skew if expirations seem immediate

When it happens

Trigger: Not completing the browser authorization before the transaction's expiry window elapses — e.g. starting the command, leaving the URL unvisited, and returning later.

Common situations: Command left running while the user steps away; slow org SSO login in the browser consuming the window; clock skew shortening perceived validity.
