Hello everyone,

Hello everyone, I am trying to follow along this tutorial: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pipelines/tutorials/query-data-with-motherduck/. I am stuck at the pipeline creation stage. When I run npx wrangler pipelines create clickstream-pipeline --r2-bucket clickstream-data --compression none --batch-max-seconds 5, I get the following error:
⛅️ wrangler 4.27.0 (update available 4.28.0)

I tried all the methods on https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/issues/9320, but nothing worked. Any direction would be helpful.

Hey, it's alright. I found out later that i don't really need pipelines.

@kagitac Sorry to bother you, we have the same issue from above and we are unable to find a solution. Any ideas what can be wrong?

I am seeing the same error "Forbidden [code: 100]" here as well, running "whoami" says that I should have write access to pipelines but no success. Anyone found any resolution to this? Responding to myself; the missing part was "paid plan" for Workers, had enterprise subscription activated but worker(s) had to be upgraded to paid version and pipeline creation started working fine.
