Every commit causing GitHub "Personal Access Token" generation

[ghost]

On Windows 10, git version 2.23.0.windows.1, with manager credential helper enabled, commits to my GitHub repos result in constant "[GitHub] A personal access token has been added to your account" email being sent. It's driving me crazy. If I disable manager helper, no notifications happen.

Basically, each time I commit, I get a password prompt, enter my password, then get that email notification. If I try to commit a few minutes after, no prompt, no email notification, so there is some credential cache happening. But after a slightly longer time (maybe few hours) if I commit the same thing happens: prompt + email notification. I would expect the credentials to be stored indefinitely... So maybe that's the real issue.

I'm guessing its generating+caching+using the token rather than my credentials on subsequent commits, but the token expires quick so it's kind of pointless.

After I enter credentials, if I check Windows Credential Manager, this is all I see for GitHub... This doesn't look right, the username I enter is cf91...

Here is my gitconfig. I don't think I'm doing anything out of the ordinary.

Any ideas? Need any more info? Thanks.
