"Unable to locate build via Github Actions API" after switching to v2 action, v1 works fine

After receiving an email about the pending deprecation of the bash uploader, I decided to start migrating my repos to use the v2 uploader.

I tried switching one of my repos to the v2 (binary) uploader: https://github.com/chris48s/django-apiblueprint-view/commit/c029baeccc22fccdb28d7936bab2f135831fa65a

Unfortunately the upload is failing with the error:

['error'] Error POSTing to https://codecov.io: 404 {'detail': ErrorDetail(string='Unable to locate build via Github Actions API. Please upload with the Codecov repository upload token to resolve issue.', code='not_found')}
['error'] There was an error running the uploader: Error uploading to https://codecov.io: Error: Not Found

As I understand the docs, public repos should still be able to upload coverage from GH actions without a token. I switched the repo back to use the v1 (bash) uploader: https://github.com/chris48s/django-apiblueprint-view/commit/77518ba78fc6c558bf435093f7d0ad00fa880267 and that fixes it.

I am not sure to which extent this was fixed because lately I seen more and more random errors like this. https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-lint/runs/5625894991?check_suite_focus=true

@ssbarnea, what have helped me, and what I thought you suggested was adding token not only to secrets, but to CI yaml as well. Like that:

    - name: Code coverage
      uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}

Have you tried it?
