Authentication failure when attempting to push to repo

The problem

When attempting to use GitHub Desktop to push to a repo, I receive the generic "Authentication Failed" error message. Screenshot 2024-11-12 4 00 00 PM

I'm able to successfully log in to GitHub.com using the Accounts tab, and I've tried signing out/back in and this has not resolved the issue.

From the command line, I have no problems doing a push.

The log file appears to lack any error messages.

Same issue, pushing through the app doesn't work, but cli works perfectly fine. I am on Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) x86_64. And github desktop was installed through flatpak.
