Starting localstack pro via docker compose fails with API key

Following this doc to try to run localstack pro via docker compose: https://docs.localstack.cloud/getting-started/installation/#:~:text=Starting%20LocalStack%20with%20Docker%2DCompose

As suggested by the doc, I have added my auth token to the LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable expecting everything to start working. However the start-up process failed right away complaining no API key set up... This is not mentioned in the Quick Start Guide though.

I checked https://app.localstack.cloud/workspace/api-keys, but localstack didn't allow me to generate an API key either since it is being deprecated, which is understandable.

May I have any suggestions how I could resolve or work around it? (with a true valid license token in hand), thanks!

this is the docker-compose.yml file I ran

version: "3.8"

services:
  localstack:
    container_name: "${LOCALSTACK_DOCKER_NAME:-localstack-main}"
    image: localstack/localstack-pro  # required for Pro
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:4566:4566"            # LocalStack Gateway
      - "127.0.0.1:4510-4559:4510-4559"  # external services port range
      - "127.0.0.1:443:443"              # LocalStack HTTPS Gateway (Pro)
    environment:
      # Activate LocalStack Pro: https://docs.localstack.cloud/getting-started/auth-token/
      - LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN=my-token  # required for Pro
      # LocalStack configuration: https://docs.localstack.cloud/references/configuration/
      - DEBUG=1
      - PERSISTENCE=1
      - "${LOCALSTACK_VOLUME_DIR:-./volume}:/var/lib/localstack"
