Authorization is required to perform that action

As of this month I'm getting an error message when I try to access the Google add-on that says "Authorization is required to perform that action." This has never happened before and the app has worked flawlessly for years. Uncertain how to get the app working again; 

Solution:

Are you currently logged into multiple Google accounts within the same browser session? In such cases, Google add-ons may occasionally display an error message.

Let us explore whether this workaround effectively resolves the issue.

Open Google Chrome and navigate to the menu. Select the option to create a new incognito window. Subsequently, open the same Google Sheet or Google Form and attempt to access the Google add-on again. Please inform me if this action successfully resolves the problem.
