Pushing images to DigitalOcean from Github Actions sometimes super slow and then fail due to auth issues

I am using Github Actions to build and push images into the DO registry container. I have 5 registries/5GB plan. 1-2 out of 5 times all work well, but then when I build and push a new image I can see some images pushed, but some retrying multiple times and then fail with the message: unauthorized: authentication required

Restarting Github Action will eventually successfully deploy, but could take 3-4 restarts sometimes.

Here is a full log of that step:

Run docker push $(echo $REGISTRY)/$(echo $IMAGE_NAME):$(echo $GITHUB_SHA | head -c7)
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    REGISTRY: registry.digitalocean.com/activity-forecast-registry
    IMAGE_NAME: maf-app-dev
The push refers to repository [registry.digitalocean.com/activity-forecast-registry/maf-app-dev]

Here is what I have in the Github Actions yml:

 - name: Build container image
        run: docker build -t $(echo $REGISTRY)/$(echo $IMAGE_NAME):$(echo $GITHUB_SHA | head -c7) .

      - name: Install doctl
        uses: digitalocean/action-doctl@v2
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

      - name: Log in to DigitalOcean Container Registry with short-lived credentials
        run: doctl registry login --expiry-seconds 600

      - name: Remove all old images
        run: if [ ! -z "$(doctl registry repository list | grep "$(echo $IMAGE_NAME)")" ]; then doctl registry repository delete-manifest $(echo $IMAGE_NAME) $(doctl registry repository list-tags $(echo $IMAGE_NAME) | grep -o "sha.*") --force; else echo "No repository"; fi

      - name: Push image to DigitalOcean Container Registry
        run: docker push $(echo $REGISTRY)/$(echo $IMAGE_NAME):$(echo $GITHUB_SHA | head -c7)

      - name: Run registry garbage collection
        run: doctl registry garbage-collection start --include-untagged-manifests --force

after that, I run the deployment.
