Struggled to reactivate automatically deactivated repo, getting conflicting messages from Codecov

[jedwards1211]

Describe the bug

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Codecov app from my organization because it wasn't showing up in the list of orgs in codecov.

That deactivated one of my repositories. Now when I try to look at the coverage in Codecov, it says:

This repo has been deactivated
To reactivate the repo go to or upload a coverage report and it will be automatically re-activated.

Okay, but then when I run my CI build to upload a coverage report:

Upload failed: ["This repository has been deactivated. To resume uploading to it, please activate the repository in the codecov UI: https://app.codecov.io/github/speleotica/compass/settings"]

Argh, y'all!

Fortunately I found where to reactivate it in the settings, but I never like having a tool tell me to accomplish B, I need to do A, and to accomplish A, I need to do B.

Got the same issue with repository which was converted from private status to public:
https://github.com/MobileTeleSystems/spark-dialect-extension

I'm also not able to activate the repo manually - after clicking "Activate" button I've got error message "We were not able to activate this repo". This is because API request OPTIONS https://api.codecov.io/internal/github/MobileTeleSystems/repos/spark-dialect-extension/ returns 403 restricts browser from sending POST request (CORS policy).
