Update

We are investigating reports of intermittent SSH authentication failures affecting connections that use deploy keys. Customers may experience failed SSH connections when interacting with repositories via deploy keys. Our engineering team is actively investigating the root cause and working toward resolution.

Not only deploy keys, but also newly added "regular user" SSH keys.

Yeah, we've got some old user-ssh keys failing too.

I may be a noob here..and this may not be pertinent but we have a Personal Access Token we use, (for SSH deploys).

And looking at the screenshot below, I needed to add a permission I never needed to add before?

Not sure if pertinent or relevant, so if someone wants to educate me?
I added read:org - which I feel like not everyone using the CLI tool would have, need or want

Update

We have identified a recent code change as a potential cause of the SSH authentication failures affecting deploy key connections. Our engineering team is rolling back this change. Customers using deploy keys for SSH access to repositories may continue to experience intermittent connection failures until the fix is deployed.

I anxiously await the advertised:

"A detailed root cause analysis"

Seems like this was re-deployed today with no code changes?
