As long as you pass a token from a session with your phone number verified (you can do this through the browser), the script will work correctly. That probably isn't the source of the Forbidden warning you're seeing here. I've been investigating a problem with full deletion behind the scenes. I'm not sure whether Discord changed their API or not, but the script doesn't seem to be able to delete messages in servers that a user isn't participating in anymore, hence the Forbidden. The user doesn't have permission to delete such messages once they've left the server. This is something I'm sure worked a while ago. For now, I can only recommend running a partial deletion and keeping your account open just in case I find a new way of achieving full deletion. I will update the README shortly to rectify any misleading information.
