Repo-specific Bad credentials persists despite App reinstall

Railway GitHub App (install ID 133985458) returns "Bad credentials" specifically for ywl93/gaia-harvest and only this repo. Verified clean on GitHub side: App listed at repo-level installations, "All repositories" set, no webhooks/deploy keys/rulesets/branch-protection conflicts. Two other private repos in the same App install connect to Railway without issue — only gaia-harvest is affected. Reproduces on a fresh service: bbbc3fcc-62e0-47de-bb2c-06553de89008 (also Bad credentials). Existing affected service: 42f979b3-622e-4708-a742-bbad8715a3e2. Project: 8cc4015b-c819-44b6-a607-d10781a91eda. Likely a stale stored GitHub repo identifier on Railway's side for this specific repo. Asking for backend lookup + refresh.

We were experiencing a major service disruption (details at https://status.railway.com/incident/I23M92U0) that could have left stale credential state for specific repos. As a first step, could you please go to your Railway account settings, unlink the GitHub integration entirely, then relink it? This forces a full credential refresh on our end and often clears repo-specific staleness. If the issue persists after relinking, let us know and we'll investigate further on the backend.

This keeps happening to me too. I tried multiple times unlinking Github and linking it again, and still nothing. Kindly advise a way forward urgently, this is ridiculous.

Same here. "Bad credentials" after multiple relinking Github but still nothing works.

Hey all, the "bad credentials" was due to an outage that Github was having and it resolved on the Railway side once GitHub resolved their incident: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/k5z4d1v1tqmt

If you're still running into issue though, please let us know and we'll get you sorted!
