Forks disconnecting from upstream

Body

So I'm trying to fork a large project with nearly 100 repos, into an organization.
All the forks are created successfully and everything looks fine, however, about 5 minutes later, every fork loses its connection to its upstream. There's no longer a link under the repo name directing back to the original repo and I can't sync with the upstream, but all the commit history and everything still there. Everything else is as it should...it's just the upstream is lost.

If I fork it manually via the web, it stays connected to upstream.

Any ideas what's going on here?

By now, with the time I've wasted on trying to figure this out, I could've just done it manually. 🤦🏻‍♂️

url = "https://api.github.com/repos/{}/{}/forks".format(<OWNER>, <REPO>)

payload = json.dumps({
    "owner": <OWNER>,
    "repo": <REPO>,
    "organization": <ORG>
})

headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/vnd.github+json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(<KEY>),
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-GitHub-Api-Version': '2022-11-28'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
