I have successfully cloned a repository from a GitLab instance. The repository is called main. (It was named that long before most people started using main as a branch name. That's probably not terribly relevant, but it's maybe worth mentioning to avoid confusion.)
After a couple days, I wanted any new updates from other team members to be included in my local copy. So I ran the following:
git fetch --all
... and got:
Fetching origin

remote: Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.

Fetching main
myfirstname.mylastname@git: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
error: could not fetch main
But here's the interesting thing. Running this succeeds:
git fetch
... giving me this:
remote: Enumerating objects: 9, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
remote: Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0)

This is not a public repository: There should either be a failure for both cases or for neither, from what I understand.
I have verified that the key in my ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub file is identical to the key that GitLab shows for my user, and that the key is not expired. (It has a month to go.) I have also verified that the repository still exists, and that I have access to it in GitLab.
Any idea how I can regain access to this repository?

EDIT: Running git remote -v shows the following:
main ssh://git/core/main.git (fetch)
main no-push (push)
origin [email protected]:core/main.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:core/main.git (push)
You have 2 remotes: main with fetch URL ssh://git/core/main.git, push disabled; and origin with URL [email protected]:core/main.git for fetching and pushing. git fetch --all fetches from both remotes and it seems one doesn't have your SSH key. You can check that with git fetch main.
You have to decide if you need remote main; if not — remove it with git remote rm main; if yes — configure SSH key at the remote. Or may be fix the remote (add the login git): git remote set-url main ssh://git@git/core/main.git
