[JamesIves]

Do you have the following in your workflow? There's a section in the readme around giving permission to the runner. You can either add something to the workflow or change a setting in the repository, otherwise you'll potentially run into this.

If you do not supply the action with an access token or an SSH key, you must access your repositories settings and provide Read and Write Permissions to the provided GITHUB_TOKEN, otherwise you'll potentially run into permission issues. Alternatively you can set the following in your workflow file to grant the action the permissions it needs.

permissions:
  contents: write

Can you verify that you've provided the GITHUB_TOKEN read/write permissions in the abcense of that permissions property in your workflow?
