@ansgarm What was the code that caused this error?

[ansgarm]

I haven't checked but I suspect an API call to Terraform Cloud to check whether the workspace is using remote execution or not.

To reproduce this issue, try to deploy to a non-existing workspace in Terraform Cloud using the CloudBackend or RemoteBackend construct.
