Description

I'm currently getting the following error at the bottom of the pane when opening the add-on:

```
Error

Authorization is required to perform that action.

Please report this error
```

The final line is a link that actually just leads to https://wordpress.com/support/ and not to this Github repo.

I've tried removing and reinstalling the add-on and gotten the same results.

Based on the [comments on the Marketplace](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/wordpresscom_for_google_docs/460536350236?pann=cwsdp&hl=en), it doesn't look like this kind of error is universal, but it does appear to be fairly common.
