Suddenly I can't access breathing rate data

As of a couple of days ago, I'm not able to access my Breathing Rate data. I get the message:

    PERMISSION_DENIED - The caller does not have permission

Has something changed??

Apparently, they have reproduced the problem at their end, and have raised
a ticket to get it fixed. That was three months ago.

I've been pestering them for an update on progress ever since, but to no
avail. I'm guessing they don't see it as a high enough priority.

In fact, they still haven't answered my latest "have you fixed it yet"
question, three days after I asked.

It's frustrating that we just have to wait on this.
BYW, Looking at my Web API call status, it seems I'm not able to get the intra data for heart rate (heartrate) either, just like with SpO2.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am now able to fetch my Breathing Rate data. To do that, I had to request access to Intraday Data from the FitBit folk. Here's what I was told:

We're still waiting for engineering to prioritize fixing this issue. As a workaround, we can enable intraday for your application. Do you this, I need you to submit an intraday request at  https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/intraday/. You can tell the team that you were instructed to request intraday access for personal application due to an existing bug, and reference your case 426402647.

You guys may want to do the same. Feel free to reference my name (Mike Church) and Case Number (426402647).
