Script does not have permission to perform that action after authorization granted CalendarApp

I've been executing a gscript for a couple years now, but just today I started seeing the following when I try to execute it:

The script does not have permission to perform that action. Required permissions: (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar || https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly || https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds)

I went ahead and deauthorized my script from my Account permissions page and re-ran the script to force re-auth, but I'm still seeing the error.

The line in question is simply trying to do:

CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar()

Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

From what error you've encountered, it indicates that the script lacking the authorization needed to run. When a script is run in the Script Editor or from a custom menu item an authorization dialog is presented to the user. However, when a script is run from a trigger, embedded with a Google Sites page, or run as a service, the dialog cannot be presented and this error is shown.

If the script contains new unauthorized services, you must re-authorize the script. Here's a documentation on how to troubleshoot this type of error in Google Apps Script.

If a trigger continues to fire and cause this error, you can access your triggers by doing the following:

  1. Select Edit > All your triggers in the Apps Script editor. The resulting dialog shows all active triggers running on your account.
  2. Find the offending trigger in the list.
  3. Click the clear icon next to the trigger name to remove it.
  4. Click Save to record the deletion.

You can also remove problematic add-on triggers by uninstalling the add-on.
