Amplify CLI Version You can use amplify -v to check the amplify cli version on your system

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior or terminal output if applicable

• Create a backend env using the amplify console
• Use the pull command provided to pull the backend env

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

I originally had this pointed to another amplify project in another branch, so maybe something wanky happened with the cli's config? But I'm reproducing this after creating a fresh clone on a different machine where there was never a reference to the other project.
