Hi @eliu,

This is happening because an expired auth token is set in your env, you can unset the VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN env variable and it should work post that.

Cheers!

Hi @unfade ,

I don’t have any env variable named `VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN`

$ echo $VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN

Hi @eliu ,
Could you check the documentation at Usage and Behavior Post Migration to HCP | Vagrant | HashiCorp Developer for refreshing the token ? Ideally it should be that token unless you have HCP specific tokens set.

Cheers!

Thanks! That solved my problem. One thing left on me is a little bit confused why it requires me to login when i just want to pull a public vagrant box resource~

Ideally, it should not, but if there is a cloud token or hcp auth set, then it passes the same, which can cause a failure if the token is expired.
