### Description This relates to [Changed codecov.yml seems not to be found](https://community.codecov.com/t/changed-codecov-yml-seems-not-to-be-found/869/1) and [Cannot disable codecov/patch check?](https://community.codecov.com/t/cannot-disable-codecov-patch-check/682) but I’m still having an issue. I’m trying to disable Codecov GitHub actions for the Patch and Project checks in our PRs. I have managed to prevent them from running but they still fail the build because they’re waiting to complete. ![Screenshot 2020-08-06 at 09.23.50](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/codecov/original/2X/8/8d2794d42269f1b56cb015ca91e4ffddb40d4c70.png) Ideally, we would like the coverage report posted in the comments of the PR as it does by default but only remove the checks in the actions at the bottom of the PR as seen in the screenshot above. Our Codecov file is named `codecov.yml` and sits in the root of the project. ```auto coverage: status: patch: off project: off ``` Our `.github/workflows/nodejs.yml` has this entry for Codecov: ```auto - uses: codecov/codecov-action@v1 with: token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }} fail_ci_if_error: true ``` Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ### Repository Private ### CI/CD GitHub (Actions) ### Uploader We’re using the Codecov GitHub actions plugin to upload the code coverage. ### Commit SHAs 55b0b66a5a98f972490adac8a4e67dab9841d978 ### Codecov YAML ```auto coverage: status: patch: off project: off ``` ### Codecov Output Output from Codecov GitHub actions plugin ```auto Run codecov/codecov-action@v1 with: token: *** fail_ci_if_error: true bash codecov.sh -n -F -Z _____ _ / ____ | | | | | _____ | | ______ _______ | | / _ \ / _` |/ _ \/ __/ _ \ \ / / | |___| (_) | (_| |__/ (_| (_) \ V / \ _____\___ / \ __,_|\___ |\ ___\___ / \_/ Bash-20200728-9fb7d93 ==> GitHub Actions detected. project root: . --> token set from env Yaml found at: codecov.yml ==> Running gcov in .

Hi @justynjj, it looks like the Codecov statuses are required. I would double-check your GitHub settings to ensure they are not required as we are not sending them from our side.

Thanks @tom, that was it. I had my head in Codecov configs so much I missed the bigger picture!
