All requests being rejected with 401

so this code was working for me great for well over two weeks with client credential oauth tokens…

function auth(server) {
  const jwt = require('restify-jwt-community')
  const jwks = require('jwks-rsa')
  const { errs, log } = require('./utils') // eslint-disable-line

  try {
    const jwtCheck = jwt({
      secret: jwks.expressJwtSecret({
        cache: true,
        rateLimit: false,
        jwksUri: 'https://[mydomain].auth0.com/.well-known/jwks.json'
      }),
      audience: 'https://api.[mydomain].com',
      issuer: 'https://[mydomain].auth0.com/',
      algorithms: ['RS256']
    }).unless({ path: ['/health'] })
    server.use(jwtCheck)
  } catch (err) {
    return new errs.UnauthorizedError(err)
  }
}

suddenly tonight, though, every request began throwing a 401. nothing changed in my configuration of this module and my client-side tokens are being properly generated from auth0. why would this suddenly cease to function with no change in credentials or any other factor? i have one user account.

here’s the request and the result, redacted
