I'm trying to connect to Business Central online in Visual Studio Code in order to create queries, but I encounter an error:

I have followed multiple tips, but still getting the same errors while trying to download symbols.
 
Steps taken:
1. VSC: AL: Go!
2. Creating a project
3. Logging into BC with my user credentials
4. Trying to download symbols
ERROR
 
I'd appreciate any help.
I have the same question (0)
