Github Actions - Write access to repository is not granted - github

Question

The problem
I have a private repository that I am trying to add python-semantic-release to the GitHub Actions.
When trying to increment the version number, I am getting the error that I don't have write access to the repository. I have used the Github Classic PAT and Fine grained PAT and both don't work. I gave all repo permissions just to ensure that I wasn't messing anything up.
I also echoed my my secrets.TOKEN in GitHub Actions to make sure that they were being called properly as well.
Why am I getting a write error even though I have generated the access token with ALL permissions to to the repository?

Expected behavior
I expected to increment the version, and to not have and write access issues.
