My Question or Issue

I've successfully been able to play a track via the SDK. However, once the song start playing, I can't seem to get it to pause. A fetch request to the "Pause a User's Playback" endpoint repeatedly throws a 403 error (with reason: UNKNOWN). I have confirmed that the device ID is correct. The access token I'm using is the one that can be generated from the platform (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-playback-sdk/quick-start/#). I intend to change this later, right now I'm using it to test). The same token works when used to play the song, but I cannot seem to pause it (and the API error message isnt helpful at all). I've attached herewith the faulty code. Please advice.

fetch(

    `https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/pause?device_id=${device_id}`,

    {

        method: "PUT",

        headers: {

            "Content-Type": "application/json",

            Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,

         },

    }

);
