I also encountered this while using a private repository and therefore added a service account to the pipeline-run.yaml. But this will replace the pipeline service account which is somehow not mentioned in the yaml but is needed.
So there are two solutions for that if this error occurs in context of cloning a private repo at the beginning.

1. Add authentication credentials secret to the pipeline service account and don't use a SA in the pipeline run
2. or define the SA exactly to the task in the pipeline-run.yaml

serviceAccountNames:
  - taskName: clone-repository
       serviceAccountName: github-clone-bot
