I applied doppler run – command to run server – debug and i’m getting debug logs

```auto
Unable to download secrets
Doppler Error: Invalid Auth token

```

I don’t understand this, there no expiry set for service token that i created. Can somebody explain ?

Hi @Arjun_Chouksey,

Welcome to the Doppler Community!

Typically, timeout errors like this occur due to DNS resolution problems. Could you try enabling the `--enable-dns-resolver` flag and see if that makes a difference? That causes the CLI to bypass the OS DNS resolver and instead use a software resolver that’s hitting Cloudflare’s DNS nameservers (`1.1.1.1`). If DNS resolution is the problem, then enabling that should fix it. If it does, then explicitly setting your servers to use either Cloudflare or Google’s public DNS nameservers is a good longer term solution.
