Failed to parse token from Request

Just loaded PUN 2+ into an empty project and opened the Demo / Basics basics tutorial scene and hit play and I'm getting this:

OperationResponse 230: ReturnCode: 32755 (Failed to parse token from request). Parameters: {} Server: NameServer Address: ns.exitgames.com:5058
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)

Photon.Pun.PhotonHandler:FixedUpdate() (at Assets/Photon/PhotonUnityNetworking/Code/PhotonHandler.cs:139)

Same error from the first step of the 'getting started' tutorial here, same error:

Ideas? Is Photon down?

just replying to myself in case anyone else encounters this:

I had playfab setup as a 'custom authentication' setup on the pun dashboard, but forgot about that and was testing PUN in a separate project that didn't have Playfab integrated.

TLDR: Worst error message ever - the error was actually that the custom authentication was failing.
