Hey there! Thanks for reaching out! Here are some things I’d check:

  • Are you sure you are using the right InfluxDB Cloud token?
  • Are you sure that the remaining of the configuration env vars are correct? (i.e. no typos, incorrect orgs, etc?)
  • Are you sure that the InfluxDB Cloud token you generated has both read and write permissions? (i.e. not just read?)

Can you confirm the above points?
