[Python] Coinbase Advance Trading API returns "Error: account not available" when placing...

For the past while I have been trying to get this crypto trading bot to work. The problem is that while I can get/list accounts when I place an order I get a 400 error.

The code:

def place_order(symbol, side, amount, price=None):
url = 'https://api.coinbase.com/api/v3/brokerage/orders'
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer '+encryption_build.build_jwt(
'POST api.coinbase.com/api/v3/brokerage/orders',
api_key,
api_secret),
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
client_order_id = uuid.uuid4()
try:
# Order details
order_data = {
"client_order_id": str(client_order_id),
"product_id": symbol,
"side": side,
"order_configuration": {
"market_market_ioc": {
"base_size": str(amount)
}
},
"retail_portfolio_id": "41864a16-1fd4-50bb-a633-278d9c39f846"
}
res = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(order_data))
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

place_order('BTC-USD', 'SELL', amount=0.01)


The response:

{
"error":"INVALID_ARGUMENT",
"error_details":"account is not available",
"message":"account is not available"
}


The API key has view/trade permissions. The List Accounts endpoint returns my accounts on Coinbase. A BTC and fiat account in CAD are present. Both are active. Specifying the retail portfolio, or using other libraries to do this didn't make a difference.

I expect a 200 status code with the order pending or filled on Coinbase's end.

EDIT: Running it through Postman produced the same error.

There is very little on this on the internet. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
