Yeah authorization will (guessing here) create a cookie local to your browser/machine. So if you have done anything like change machines, change browsers or cleared out your cookies those would all affect it. It also may be that authorization cookie has an expiry period on it so the website will expect you to have to reauthenticate from time to time.
I will put on the todo list to give a better message in that circumstance - it is stated in the details of the response "why" the request failed, I should just detect that and give some better info in this circumstance. I have no idea as it was so long ago whether the other reason why requests fail that you were given a message about (hitting request limits) gives the same inner response message or not, so probably safest just to give two messages to the user of things they can try to do.
