http/1.1 409 conflict

I have a read-only app folder hosting our software licenses. The access token was a permanent access token. It had been working for years until recently. The query responds with the Http code 409 conflict. 

The only thing I did several days ago was turning on the two-step authentication. Thinking that may cause the error, I turned that off. However, the query still generate the code 409.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
