Since this started occurring around the same time, the cause of this may actually be the same as in the other linked thread:

> For anyone still experiencing this issue, it may be due to a permission change that Github implemented some time early May (credit to @mfiano for figuring this out). The default permission for GITHUB\_TOKEN was changed from “read and write” to “read only”. The TagBot [README](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/TagBot#setup) and the [example.yml](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/TagBot/blob/master/example.yml) show the way to restore the required permissions at the YAML file level. ([This comment](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl/issues/416#issue-1232165557) describes the issue and shows a way to fix it via Github UI, on a per-repository level.) The YAML change just involve…

even though the error message is different here. You could try giving the ` contents: write` permission in the tag bot YAML and see if it fixes the issue.
