In this case, verify whether the token is still valid and correctly assigned to the user.

You can also test the token using the Swagger interface available at
`https://paperless.example.com/api/schema/view/`

Click on **"Authorize"** in the Swagger UI to enter your token at **tokenAuth (apiKey)**, then try accessing the relevant endpoints like `/api/statistics/` to ensure they respond as expected.

If everything works correctly in Swagger but the integration still fails, check whether a reverse proxy (e.g., NGINX) is returning an **HTTP 403 error**. If so, the integration may also report this as a permission issue.

2. You can also test the token using the Swagger interface available at

- Then, try accessing the relevant endpoints like `/api/statistics/` to ensure they respond as expected.
3. If everything works correctly in Swagger but the integration still fails, check whether a reverse proxy (for example, NGINX) is returning an **HTTP 403 error**.
- If so, the integration may also report this as a permission issue.

I think this could be a step-by-step procedure
