Any idea why I'm getting this? I've checked the runner time and date and is correct.
If I regenerate the certificate the first time this succeed, then start to fail again.

Solved for us by correcting the time on the requesting VM. If the machine clock ahead of reality then the token request is effectively for maximum_time_allowed + time_vm_clock_is_ahead, so the request gets rejected by GitHub
