Coverage report uploads continues to be a problem

[atoulme]

We have tried to change the way we handle coverage upload before with:
#23851

However, I still see sporadic issues:

Retrying the build manually fixes the issue.

We use https://github.com/codecov/codecov-action which states:

If you have a private repository, this Action also requires you to [provide an upload token](https://docs.codecov.io/docs/frequently-asked-questions#section-where-is-the-repository-upload-token-found-) from [codecov.io](https://www.codecov.io/) (tip: in order to avoid exposing your token, store it as a secret). Optionally, you can choose to include up to four additional inputs to customize the upload context. For public repositories, no token is needed

However, the error message states that we should use a token to resolve the issue.

[atoulme]

@codeboten would you know if we have a codecov token in our secrets we could use when uploading to bypass this limitation?

[codeboten]

@atoulme i don't believe we currently use a codecov token, this may be something we could try

[atoulme]

How do we go about getting one?
