I'm getting the following error on Traefik startup but I don't really understand what it means, can someone help me?

Hello @onixid,

It seems to be related to your configuration of the Google ACME configuration. You might not have the right to access resources there.

Hope it helps 😃

Hi @tommoulard, thanks for your prompt reply. May I ask what do you mean by resources?

I meant that with this token, you don't have access to google resources.
