  • When I ran same command as you in Azure Cloud Shell, I got same error as below:

    To resolve the error, you need to run az login first and connect with vaild identity(user account) like below:

    When I ran below command again after signing in with valid user account, I got access token successfully like this:

    az account get-access-token --resource https://cognitiveservices.azure.com

    I executed the same commands in my local environment too and got an access token successfully like below:

    az login
az account show
az account get-access-token --resource https://cognitiveservices.azure.com

    In your case, check how you are connecting to Azure from CLI and make sure to sign in with valid identity while running az login.
