lock-threads GET request is deprecated

There's plenty of time still, but my output contains the following message:

[@octokit/request] "GET https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=repo%3Afirefly-iii%2Ffirefly-iii%20updated%3A%3C2025-02-19T02%3A26%3A13Z%20is%3Aclosed%20is%3Aunlocked%20is%3Aissue&sort=updated&order=desc&per_page=50" 
is deprecated. It is scheduled to be removed on Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT

@JC5 Try to use https://github.com/marketplace/actions/close-stale-issues

Thanks. I'm specifically looking for an action that locks old issues, and your link does not seem to provide that functionality.

Since this action will stop working in 3 weeks, has anyone found a replacement?

No, but as far as I can tell from the linked documentation there will be some syntax changes that this particular search query does not seem to be affected by. The query could be changed to include the AND keyword but as far as I can tell it's not mandatory (it defaults to AND).

I've not really managed to test this yet.

If you want, use JC5/[email protected]. Works the same, but gives no deprecation errors.

From a quick look the queries used by Lock Threads are not affected by the new advanced search syntax, and the deprecation warning should go away tomorrow. Please let me know if you notice any issue.

I'm still seeing similar warnings, just with a different date. I opened https://github.com/dessant/lock-threads/issues/54.

Hi @mgol, GitHub has delayed the switch to the new search syntax by two months, but the new syntax should not affect this action.
