OCI user locked out because of expired VBS PAT (I think)

Hi

We have an OCI user with a real email address mapped to VBS. We use it as a system user. It has a PAT in VBS.

This user makes automatic Git pull/clone requests using the PAT.

Since the PAT expired, the authentication requests to VBS Git have failed. This causes the OCI user to be locked out, and we have to unlock it many times while we work out which of our systems is still using the stale PAT.

Some questions:

  1. How can we avoid this situation next time? Is it possible to not be locked out after authentication failures?

Howdy, Stranger!
