I have a peculiar problem with Jenkins & Github. We have our repos on Github and we use Jenkins to clone and build. When I start a build, it fails almost instantly due to
ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'
stderr: remote: Invalid username or password.
However, if I run the job again, it builds without any issues. I searched for problems like this and people usually have authentication problems due to misconfiguration and for them, error happens every time. But for me, it only happens the first time and for subsequent builds it almost always works (%95) as expected. Not sure what's causing this issue but any help is greatly appreciated.
- Jenkins version: 2.332.2 ([Updated from] 2.263.4 also had the same problem)
- OS version: MacOS Monterey 12.4 (Big Sur also had the same problem)
- All of the Git related plugins are also up to date.
Here is the log of a failed job:

The very next 'Rebuild' was perfectly fine and built without any problems.
