Rest endpoint to delete comments returning 404

[pantelis-karamolegkos]

I am saving the output of a gh cli invocation as follows:

gh pr view ${{ github.event.number }} --json comments > comments.json

I then want to iterate on the saved comments and conditionally delete some of them,

      - name: delete comments
        uses: actions/github-script@v6
        with:
          result-encoding: string
          script: |
            const fs = require('fs');
            const jsonData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('comments.json', 'utf-8'));
            const comments = jsonData.comments;
            for (const cmnt of comments) {
              comment_id = cmnt.id
              if (cmnt.author.login == 'author-name' || cmnt.body == 'foo') {
                github.rest.issues.deleteComment({
                  owner: context.repo.owner,
                  repo: context.repo.repo,
                  comment_id: comment_id,
                })
              }
            }

This fails with:

 status: 404,
  response: {
    url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/MyOrganization/MyRepo/issues/comments/IC_kwDODse5xs5r1sLf',
    status: 404,
