How to refresh Github Connection for automations?

I've got an automation that uses the GitHub connection. It works fine and then all of a sudden stops working. It seems to be a permissions/token thing from Github, but I cannot find a simple way to fix it. I cannot refresh the connection, I cannot delete the connection and re-connect without first deleting the automations that uses the connection. So, the only way I have currently to fix this issue is to: 1. delete all automations that uses the connection, 2. delete the connection, 3. re-import the automation, 4. re-establish the github connection (and 5. since we trigger the automations from github, reset the variables and settings to match the new instance of the automation). This is an extremely time consuming process to have to do every couple of weeks or so (yes, the connection seems to be failing within a month). Is there anyway to refresh/update the permissions for the github connection without having to just nuke everything and re-build it?

Just adding, it seems inconsistent how long the connection lasts as some tenants connection works for months and others work for a couple of weeks.

Hi PChristensen,

Did you work out how to do this?, I have been backing up apps to GitHub for about a week and suddenly I am getting "Error calling endpoint "GitHub - Get File SHA" errors, and there is no way to refresh anything.
