Valid token, unsuccessful login with tmi.js

I’m trying to make a simple twitch bot and I’m trying to use an authentication flow to get my oauth token.

Which authentication flow?

Only a user access token can login to chat when authenticating as a user

To make sure tmi.js is not trying to connect to the server first (without any token), I’m waiting on the token with await, and this works fine.

This sounds like you have used an App Access Token instead
