Authentication failure when connecting to REST API with bearer Token

Hello,

 

I recently tried to get data via REST API. Therefore I created a new Datasource "Web":

I put the URL + the Bearer Token, created the Datasource and everything worked fine. Recently, my Bearer Token expired and I tried changing it in the Web.Contents call:

 

= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://URL.com/restApi/v1/away?limit=0&fields=*", [Headers=[Authorization="Bearer NewBearerToken"]]))

 

After I do that, I get an error message that the authorization failed. If I create a completely new Datasource with my new Bearer Token the connection works. I want to update the data I transformed though. Any ideas what went wrong here?
