Solana: “Error: Github account is too new” on Solana dev faucet

Error: “Github account too new” on Solana Devnet Faucet

I’m excited to test out the Solana ecosystem with a local devnet faucet, but I’ve encountered a perplexing error. Yesterday I created a GitHub account to gain access to the devnet and start experimenting with Solana tokens.

However, when I tried to airdrop 2.5 SOL using the faucet’s built-in wallet, I was greeted with a frustrating “Github account too new” message. Despite carefully following the instructions, my new GitHub account appears to be causing an issue.

After some research and troubleshooting, I’ve tried several solutions to resolve this issue:

• Upgrade Solana Node

  

  : I updated my Solana node to the latest version to see if that would fix the issue.

• Clear cache and data

  : I cleared my faucet wallet cache and data to ensure all account information was reset.

• Check account permissions: I double-checked that my GitHub account was granted the necessary permissions to access Solana devnet.

Unfortunately, none of these steps resolved the issue. The “Github account is too new” error continues to appear.

I am looking forward to resolving this issue and successfully airdropping 2.5 SOL using my new GitHub account. If anyone else is having similar issues with the Devnet faucet or Solana tokens, I would appreciate any guidance or advice you may have to help me troubleshoot the issue further.

Update: I have tried resetting my wallet settings and recreating my Solana node, but unfortunately the issue persists. Any additional information that might be helpful is greatly appreciated!
