Hello, I'm facing a persistent issue where one of my environment variables (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY) is causing a 401 Unauthorized error when my Node.js application tries to use it.
I have 100% confirmed that:
The API key value is correct (it works perfectly in a local test script on my machine).
The application code correctly reads the variable using
process.env.ELEVENLABS_API_KEY.I have tried deleting the variable, redeploying, re-adding the variable, and redeploying again, but the issue persists.
It seems like the old/invalid value is cached somewhere on the platform and is not being updated for my deployment.
Can you please help me check if there's a caching issue on your end for my project's environment variables?

I've tried the second solution (
Env Vars and index.ts Not Updating After Deploy ) and it unfortunately doesn't work.

Silly question but this happens more often than you might think, did you deploy the changes after changing the variable and or redeploy the downstream services if this is a shared variable

Hey, yep I've already did it multiple times, and even as I'm writing this down, I did it 5min ago.

Hey there! In the part of your script that references this variable, are you able to print that to your logs and validate that this matches your working value?
Unsure if you have already checked this but would like to validate that its actually a value desync.

Are you using ElevenLabs HTTP API or some sort of SDK? Can you show us where you read and then use the variable? Maybe it'll give us some hints as to what is going on

Hey everyone, I've just found out the solution : my problem was that the variable for the Voice ID wasn't correct lmao so it just kept putting an error everytime the API key was being sent.
I'm sorry for losing everyone time on such small problems.
