Enabled Stalebot and nothing getting marked as stale :(

We have a private repo we are seeing how Stale works. Unfortunately we aren’t seeing any stale labels being added.

# Number of days of inactivity before an issue becomes stale
daysUntilStale: 30
# Number of days of inactivity before a stale issue is closed
daysUntilClose: 7
# Issues with these labels will never be considered stale
exemptLabels:
  - pinned
  - security
# Label to use when marking an issue as stale
staleLabel: stale
# Comment to post when marking an issue as stale. Set to `false` to disable
markComment: >
  This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had
  recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you
  for your contributions.
# Comment to post when closing a stale issue. Set to `false` to disable
closeComment: true

Other info:

• It has been over 24h since installation and .github/stale.yml file committed
• Validated our YAML via https://github.com/probot/stale/issues/160
• We have it enabled on just one private repo within our GH org
• We have many issues and PRs older than the 30 days
• Permissions for Stale are: ❌ No access to code ✔️ Read access to metadata and single file ✔️ Read and write access to issues and pull requests

Not for sure what to try next?

We use Sentry for error tracking and I just checked and I cannot find any errors being raised for this repo. I think the issue could be in your yaml here:

# Comment to post when closing a stale issue. Set to `false` to disable
closeComment: true

Try

# Comment to post when closing a stale issue. Set to `false` to disable
closeComment: >
  This issue has been marked as stale and closed. Please reopen if you think there's been a mistake.

closeComment expects a string, unless it’s set to false.

Yup, that did the trick! It is working now! Thanks for all the help!
