Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Enterprise app secrets expire after 1 year, GitHub doesn't know when this is going to expire and so Actions just stop working when the secret expires.

We should investigate to see if there are any better alternatives to using Enterprise App Secrets.
