Paypal invalid token error when creating a recurring payment profile

I am trying to setup a recurring payment profile via the ExpressCheckout API of Paypal in Ruby on Rails with the help of paypal-express gem but i keep getting error code 11502 (Invalid token) => Paypal error code documentation

The documentation is a bit unclear because there it is not saying what's missing:

One or more subscription detail fields are missing from the request.

I have checked the required field in the documentation here but i don't think i missed any. No need for shipping details as we don't ship a product. Here is a log of what is being sent to Paypal when i am doing the checkout and then creating the recurring profile:

Do you guys have any ideas of what could be wrong? I can execute a payment without any issue, the issue appear when creating a recurring profile.

Never mind! I found what was wrong misread the gem wiki (https://github.com/nov/paypal-express/wiki/Recurring-Payment) and mistakenly mix instant payment request with recurring profile creation so there was no billing_agreement_description nor billing_agreements in the data sent to paypal...
