I am getting this error below when I try to use a bearer token in my custom add on  
Error:“Account trial has expired. Please select an account plan and try again.”  
the format of the API call is as follows

url: ‘[https://api.servicem8.com/api\_1.0/material.json?%24filter=active%20eq%201](https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/material.json?%24filter=active%20eq%201)’,  
headers:  
{  
accept: ‘application/json’,  
authorization : 'Bearer '+event.auth.accessToken  
}
