The issue labels and PR labels are different. They didnt change since the introduction of the workflow. If it is working correctly why aren't the labels being removed from PR's

Hmm interesting, the workflow indeed runs fine at your end. Any idea why it doesnt remove the label in our repo?

Hi @efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc , we went through the runs of previous month for shared workflow file. We see that mentioned PR was skipped in the runs between 4th Jan to 13th Jan, the reason being the statefulness feature or the way caching works in actions/stale. The mentioned PR was picked up next on the 14th Jan run after the 3rd Jan’s run where it was not in stale state hence no labels were modified during these runs(4th Jan -13th Jan) in between. We recommend you to go through the following link to get more insights on the actions/stale statefulness and pass an operations-per-run value in the workflow as per your requirement to handle the caching. Kindly check the following screenshots for more information. Screenshots has information on the runs on 3rd Jan, 13th Jan (similar from 4th - 13th Jan), 14th Jan
