we recently had a situation where the github token we were using lost its permissions
and on the next update it seems that since it could no longer see these resources it assumed it should delete them from the checkpoint
this was pretty annoying to recover from
should it be doing something different in this situation?

Upvoting. Definitely not OK. Burned by it myself today.

Specifically, a pulumi refresh under a token that had wrong permissions succeeded but wiped all the resources from the stack 😱 It would be lovely if the update instead errored indicating that the token has no permissions.
