Checks on the OAuth permissions have been tested, to no effect.
Only notable change to the TS side of things is me flipping the account from the business trial, to just a normal personal account.

Thank you for the detailed report @boomam! This looks to have been an issue with OAuth for the underlying endpoint in the control plane that should now be fixed.

[boomam]

Great! I will test this evening and report back!

[boomam]

I can confirm that the issue is now resolved.
Thanks for getting it fixed!
