I'm experiencing the same issue.

Support response: "The ibmcloud cos plugin is no longer available due to some issues that were discovered." Requested ETA of resolution.

@bennythejudge @CaffeineFusion glad to know i'm not the only one running into this issue. have you found any other workarounds to work with COS using ibmcloud/bx cli tool?

That's correct, the beta plugin was pulled back to fix some usability issues. In the meantime it's recommended to generate HMAC keys and use the Minio Client to connect to COS.
