Image upload in the `v0` chat returns a `Vercel Blob` access denied error. There is nothing in my portfolio codebase to fix.

This is the error message received:

> **Vercel Blob: Access denied, please provide a valid token**

Did you know there's another category dedicated to #v0 topics? A human should be here soon to help, but the answer may already be available even faster in one of these other posts.
