Is it regression?

no

Expected behavior

We log in ECR and the container image is pulled during the "Initialize container"

Actual behavior

We get this log

Repro steps

Set up a workflow as follow
The configuration of the workflow:

jobs:
  destroy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: 905418340137.dkr.ecr.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/gh-runner:latest
      credentials:
          username: AWS
          password: ${{ secrets.AWS_ECR_PW }}
    steps:
.....

The secret is correctly set up and rotated regularly.

I succeeded last night and this morning, I have this error.
I tried on both ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-20.04
