branchprotector failing to remove required status for removed jobs

[BenTheElder]

see also: kubernetes/test-infra#33900 with prior discussion

note: it is no longer failing on timeout, but it is still failing, the logs don't seem super helpful and it's not removing required checks that are no longer necessary

seems bugged?
