Just in case this information is useful, there are about 50 users every day, using about 10-20k API calls total.

The issue might be worse the more API calls there are, but this is purely a guess and nothing more.

      The errors actually "magically" went away about 24+ hours after reporting it.


      Can you give any details as to what was wrong and if anything was actually fixed?

      I'm also wondering if it was caused by the legacy permissions/scopes, which I migrated to the new system, so if this was actually what fixed it, but just rolled out slowly/took a day to apply?

        Thanks for confirming! This was an issue with the search backend that the engineering team worked to resolve. This wasn't related to the scopes migration.
