Do these new tokens still require the organization and user consent? I’m not able to use GitPod as a freelancer because my clients don’t want to approve the app

Do these new tokens still require the organization and user consent? I’m not able to use GitPod as a freelancer because my clients don’t want to approve the application so GitPod can’t access the repo. I work around the issue by creating a private repo with my SSH private key that has the client’s code as a submodule and configures GitPod to fetch the submodule using that ssh key. It’s silly that I have to do that.
