Azure Devops publishing to own feed suddenly results in 403 forbidden

I have been using Azure DevOps for a project for quite some time, but suddenly publishing to my own organisation/collection feed results in a 403.

I created a feed and I can select it on the nuget push build step, but it does not work. I created a new feed to publish the NuGet packages to and this works perfectly again. It seems to me like a token expired, but I never created one or used it to authenticate. I also do not want to change my NuGet feed to the new one, as I want to use older packages as well.

This is the buildpipeline:

And this is the stack trace:

Is there an option I am overlooking where I have to authenticate myself somehow? It is just so weird.

"message":"User 'a831bb9f-aef5-4b63-91cd-4027b16710cf' lacks permission to complete this action. You need to have 'ReadPackages'.

According to this error message, the error you received caused by the user(a831bb9f-aef5-4b63-91cd-4027b16710cf) does not have the access permission to your feed.

And also, as I checked from backend, a831bb9f-aef5-4b63-91cd-4027b16710cf is the VSID of your Build Service account. So, please try with adding this user(Micxxxave Build Service (sixxxxss87)) into your target feed, and assign this user the role of Contributor or higher permissions on the feed.

In addition, here has the doc you can refer:

There is a new UI in the Feed Permissions:

New UI to allow project-scoped builds
