Forbidden clientRequestId: Populate a Microsoft Word template

So far it appears that me and another person (separate organization) is receiving the same error when trying to use the Word Online (Business) Connector to Populate a Microsoft Word template. 

The error is: The dynamic operation request to API 'wordonlinebusiness' operation 'GetFileSchema' failed with status code 'BadRequest'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 400, "message": "Forbidden clientRequestId: XXXXX", "error": { "message": "Forbidden" }, "source": "wordonlinebusiness-ne.azconn-ne-002.p.azurewebsites.net" }

I have confirmed that my license still includes the Power Automate per user plan. I have ensured that I have full control on the sharepoint document library and file being used. I have tested on other files in other areas, such as OneDrive. I can use the 'Convert Word Document to PDF' action just fine, even on the same document I'm trying to use to populate a template. 

Any help is appreciated.

    Any updates on this? I have one user that keeps getting this error for 9 month..Microsoft Power Platform support is blaming SharePoint permissions however user can open file in SharePoint just fine. Ticket really went in circles still with no resolution..still working for 20+ other users just fine.
