It seems GitHub returns some API errors with warning, claiming that the user does have the correct credentials, but some restrictions apply.
Not super sure how we should handle this though. Probably raise the message to the user and have the option to not display again.

I assume this is referring to errors like the following, right?
Although you appear to have the correct authorization credentials, the
octoorgorganization has enabled OAuth App access restrictions, meaning that data access to third-parties is limited.

@esolitos Correct. I'll add that message to the description to make this issue easier to identify :)
Would it be an option to disable the check for PRs for a given project?
Having to close 5-6 large & permanent error popups each time I do a rebase is kinda annoying. 🥲
Whenever I work on an organization's repository, I get an error message popup with every action I take. Even if I fork the repo to my personal account, the errors persist. Since this issue started, I haven’t been able to create pull requests to the organization’s repo at all—they fail with a similar error. Interestingly, everything works fine when I’m working on fully personal projects.

Is there a way for my organization to add the gitbutler oauth app at all? I don't have admin permissions on my org and im not sure what to tell the GitHub admin.
The auth for the enterprise works with a personal access token, and no OAuth app is used. That way, no admin involvement is needed, but the app is basically you without distinction.
Also for non-Enterprise users, you are now able to authenticate through PAT, which should bypass the OAuth restrictions completely.
