• Invalid Credentials Issue: Ensure that the credentials are correctly updated in the Sisense Git project settings. Check if the link corresponds to the correct project and if the URL is correctly formatted.

• Invalid Permissions Issue: If the issue persists, verify that the token has the necessary permissions

• Old Credentials Being Used: Double-check that the credentials are updated in the correct project settings.
