Description
__Steps to reproduce:__
List the minimal actions needed to reproduce the behavior.
1. Create free InfluxDB Cloud account
2. Create free Grafana starter Cloud account and create a new token
3. In Grafana, add InfluxDB as data source with the following details

4. Attempt to create a dashboard panel with data from my InfluxDB data source
__Expected behavior:__
I would expect to be able to query data from the InfluxDB Cloud data source (the default `Website Monitoring Bucket` bucket).
__Actual behavior:__
I get an error in Grafana when I attempt to build a query stating:
```
InfluxDB Error: database not found: Website Monitoring Bucket
```
Any help is appreciated,
Martin

Research direction
No repository file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. First reproduce the Grafana Cloud connection to the InfluxDB Cloud Website Monitoring Bucket and inspect the data-source configuration and resulting error; done means the bucket can be queried without the database-not-found error.
