github_token not working on private repo

[chatziko]

github_token are supposed to work with private repos since some time now, but the following config is not working reliably.

    - name: Deploy
      uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3
      with:
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        publish_branch: master
        publish_dir: ./public
        force_orphan: true

What happens:

• the action runs succesfully
• the correct output is pushed correctly in the master branch
• the gihub pages Activity log shows that the new version is deployed
• but the old version is still served
  • not always, but with substantially high probability (say 30-50% of the time)
• if I manually commit any file in the master branch the new version is immediately served.
• setting force_orphan: false does not fix the issue

For now I'm switching back to deploy_key, but it would be super neat to fix this.
