Uploading zstd compressed container images to quay.io has been failing consistently (retry do not help) but for random images / layers. Example skopeo output:
time="2025-11-05T02:00:50Z" level=fatal msg="writing blob: uploading layer chunked: StatusCode: 403, \"<html>\\r\\n<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>\\r...\""
See for example:

- https://github.com/fedora-asahi-remix-atomic-desktops/images/actions/runs/19089916355/job/54538123905
- For an example of the repeated failure: https://github.com/fedora-asahi-remix-atomic-desktops/images/actions
Pushing a gzip compressed image over and then pushing a zstd one again works around the problem but is obviously not ideal.
This issue looks very similar to https://issues.redhat.com/browse/PROJQUAY-8832.
Feel free to let me know how I can help.
Thanks for working on Quay and maintaining Quay.io!
