I have the same issue, even after I reset the oauth keys.

Thanks for the notes! This is still open with engineering. I'll follow up here once I have an update.
I'm having the same problem too. Is there an update for this?
- Greg-DB
Shanness I still don't have an official update on this unfortunately. (For reference, it looks like this can occur due to some implementation details on the backend of how account migrations work with respect to Paper docs. That is, during the migration some extraneous doc IDs may be left over, but these don't actually refer to any distinct documents that the user doesn't already have access to via other doc IDs. So, it should be safe to ignore the failing doc IDs.)
The Paper API endpoints are deprecated though, so the team may not be able to prioritize fixing this, since these will be retired anyway. Please refer to the Paper Migration Guide for more information.
