Hi @canadaleks,

2.67.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.68.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

Closing issue. On further investigation I believe the issue is tied to a pipeline extension in use in our org. I will reach out to the extension developers to look into.
