Influx - just starting to get "authorization not found" error after having connected before

Question

Using Windows downloadable EXEs for Influx. Was connecting and working great until this morning.

I started influxd today, and I see in the console:

First I thought maybe it was because my influx.conf file had an outdated token, so I updated it:

[default]
  url = "http://localhost:8086"
  token = "my updated token=="
  org = "My company name"
  active = true

I tried influxd again, but I got the same result.

I ran from an Admin DOS shell.

The db is running, because I can log into the website, but it seems I cannot get to my bucket:

Here are my two tokens:

"Load Tester's Token" has read/write for everything, exactly as I created it.

It was this token I put into my influx.conf file. (It changed, for some reason.)

My load_bucket retention is now 1 year. I tried changing it to forever, but even if I save my changes, it stays 1 year.

I also tried creating a new bucket and writing to it from a script, but the script fails to connect.

You can follow below steps:

1. Execute below command to check if you can access the auth list and see all tokens list and if you have read-write permissions :
   influx.exe auth list
   You can also view in dasboard:
2. If you are not able to see token, then you can generate a token with read/write or all access.

3. It might have also happened that the retention period that you choose must have been over due to which no measurement data is available. 4. You can create a new bucket and add token that you created in above step:

influx.exe bucket create --name <Nameofyourdb> --org <Organistaion name> --description <"Your description"> --token <token string>

5. Write your measurement data:

influx.exe write --bucket <Nameofyourdb> --host http://localhost:8086 "m,host=host1 field1=1.2"
