Hello LiveKit Community, I'm building a server-side AI agent in Node.js to handle phone calls from a SIP provider. My server receives a webhook, successfully creates a room using the

RoomServiceClient

, and then the AI agent attempts to connect to that room as a participant. However, the agent's connection consistently fails with a

401 Unauthorized

error. The Error:

Error: Could not fetch region settings: Unauthorized (status: 401)

My Setup: • Project URL:

<wss://ai-agent>-****.livekit.cloud

• Environment: Node.js v20.18.3 on an Apple Silicon (arm64) Mac. • Key Libraries: ◦ `livekit-client`: 1.15.7 ◦ `livekit-server-sdk`: 2.13.1 ◦ `@roamhq/wrtc`: 0.0.0-beta.2 What I've Already Tried (Exhaustive Debugging): I'm certain this is not a simple credential typo, as I have tried the following: 1. Generated brand new API keys and secrets multiple times. 2. To completely rule out any issues with my

.env

file or local environment, I hardcoded the new API Key and Secret directly into my application code. The

401

error still occurs. 3. To rule out clock skew, I forced my machine's clock to sync with an NTP time server (

sudo sntp -sS <http://time.apple.com|time.apple.com>

). The error still occurs. 4. I have tried connecting to both the global LiveKit URL and the specific regional URL for India (

<wss://ai-agent>-****ivekit.cloud

). My Question: Given that the connection fails with a

401

error even with brand new, hardcoded credentials and a synchronized clock, what could be the server-side cause? Is there a known issue with project authentication states or a specific configuration I might be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
