I think the general rule of thumb is "try not to support anything other than the latest version in Production and the latest development version, and even then reduce the time that there are two versions as much as possible" but with things like user-managed software, or where your path to production is slower, it can be difficult to say that.

Are you able to give adb logcat a go? (I can try and help with how to get it started) I've found it lets you see the full error response, and that may help track it down.

To confirm, you logged out of your account, restarted the app to make sure you were logged out? Then re-authorized, and it's still 403ing?

I just noticed that I used the word "insane" in something recorded when I should have used "wild" or whatever. I'm trying to get out of the habit of using words like that cause it's kinda shitty and ableist, so if you hear me do that, I'd appreciate a reminder. Thanks. Sorry.
