Hi @alecdorner -

did you set the org-instance-url config like required in step 3 of the posted link?

before I set that I was seeing the same error, once I set it, using the access token began to work as expected

@WillieRuemmele oh goodness, I definitely missed that step and that cleared up the issue. Thank you!
