error creating container: Error response from daemon: unauthorized: authentication required

Basically title. I have not been able to start my pod due to this error.
I'm using the official image
runpod/pytorch:2.8.0-py3.11-cuda12.8.1-cudnn-devel-ubuntu22.04
runpod/pytorch:2.8.0-py3.11-cuda12.8.1-cudnn-devel-ubuntu22.04

I have stopped and started it for multiple times. Deploying a new pod has the same problem.

Solution
According to this message this is a problem on Dockerhub's side: I am encountering a permission error when launching Runpod.
