sonar cloud analysis.FAILING

Sonar Cloud Analysis is failing with the following error:
“Unhandled exception. System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 ().”

I have tried the following: confirm project key is correct, confirm sonar_token is in settings, also deleted regenerated sonar_token and readded it, created a github token under developer setting and added it to repository secrets but still same issue

Here is my Yaml file:

name: SonarCloud Scan

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]

jobs:
  sonarcloud_scan:
    name: SonarCloud Scan
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        
      # Change directory to the project directory
      - name: Change Directory
        run: cd AlcoholDeliverAPI/AlcoholDeliverAPI
      - name: Set up .NET Core SDK
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
        with:
          dotnet-version: '6.0'

      - name: Install SonarCloud Scanner for MSBuild
        run: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner

      - name: Restore dependencies
        run: dotnet restore <csproj path>

      - name: Build
        run: dotnet build <csproj path>

      - name: SonarCloud Analysis
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TOKEN_GITHUB }}
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
        run: dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"<projectkey>" /o:"<organization>" /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" && dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}"
