Hello @shriyanskapoor. I just published a new version of the extension (v1.2.3) which adds improved support for setting a GITHUB_TOKEN. You can either manually generate one and set it in the Settings view or have one automatically generated for you if you have the gh CLI setup. Can you give this a try as this should resolve any authentication issues.
