git clone works locally but not from gitlab runner

I have a weird behavior since this morning on my gitlab CI/CD. The git clone fails on the authentication step.
The error is as follow

remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied. The provided password or token is incorrect or your account has 2FA enabled and you must use a personal access token instead of a password. See https://gitlab.iselection.com/help/topics/git/troubleshooting_git#error-on-git-fetch-http-basic-access-denied
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.xxx.com/xxx/'

Here is the yaml file

variables:
  GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY: "true""
  TOKEN_NAME: certificate
  TOKEN_VALUE: "xxx"
image: alpine:latest

before_script:
    - apk add git curl openssl openjdk11 bash ca-certificates
    - git clone https://$TOKEN_NAME:$TOKEN_VALUE@gitlab.xxx.com/xxx

So I am using a token defined in the repo I want to clone and when running the same command from my local machine, it works smoothly.

What can I check next or what can I do ?

Thx

edit: other failing tests

• creation of a PAT on my user (clone works from my machine but not from the Gitlab CICD pipeline)
• creation of a deploy token (clone works from my machine but not from the Gitlab CICD pipeline)

We ran into this same issue and it appears to be related to the latest cURL version (8.2.0). We pinned our libcurl and curl versions to 8.0.1 and it fixed the issue we had.

In our Alpine docker container, we updated to use:

apk add --update --upgrade --no-cache libcurl=8.0.1-r0 curl=8.0.1-r0 --repository=https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/main

There is an issue with curl on the latest version of alpine right now. Try using Alpine version 3.11.13
