  • Steps to reproduce
    Create new PR, found that build phase of SonarCloud is failed with above error msg.
    This issue just happened today. Before that, I can build PR normally. None of properties were changed.

  • Potential workaround
    None

Are you sure the project still exists on SonarCloud – and that the token provided as SONAR_TOKEN in your GitHub action YML still exists?

Hi, I just check with our admin. The Sonar_tokens is incorrect after my colleague left. We already fixed it. Thanks you
