Hi! It seems that this API key is not working. This message: ```auto Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.’ ``` comes from Google when Weaviate tries to vectorize something using that service. LEt me know if that helps. Thanks!
