https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential says:

"If the action is reject, git-credential will send the description to
any configured credential helpers, which may erase any stored
credential matching the description."

So maybe this is expected.

Another possibility is that your .gitlab-ci.yml might launch scripts
writing into those files, like the before_script.sh script that is
described on:

Could you also check which credential helper and which options are
used? For example with commands like:

$ git config -l --show-origin | grep -i cred
$ git config -l --show-origin | grep -i http
$ git config -l --show-origin | grep -i askpass
$ env | grep -i askpass
