Ill keep an eye on this. I think #70 might have fixed this? This error often happens after the connection leaked issue happens.

#70 did NOT fix this. Still seeing it.
doesnt happen on every request. so dont really know what it could be.

Here are my thoughts
https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps#authenticating-as-a-github-app
however in this code we see
github-java-client/src/main/java/com/spotify/github/v3/clients/JwtTokenIssuer.java
Line 77 in 12f5323
so i am wondering if the fix is simply to remove 60 seconds.
