azure-cosmos-js: Trying to query documents results in a Parse Error: HPE_HEADER_OVERFLOW

I am using the @azure/cosmos NPM package to query documents from CosmosDB and it results in the following error:

{ Error: Parse Error

@azure/cosmos@2.1.1 Node.js 10.15.0

I’m using the following code:

const cosmos = require('@azure/cosmos');
const config = require('./local.settings.json');

const { CosmosClient } = cosmos;

const { endpoint, key } = config;
console.log(endpoint, key);
const client = new CosmosClient({ endpoint, auth: { key } });

const dbId = 'DB';
const containerId = 'Items';

async function getChats() {
  const querySpec =
    'SELECT * FROM c WHERE c.type = "ChatDefinition" AND c.roomId = "062db3be-339e-11e6-bebb-00163e75537f" AND c.lastEntry >= "2019-01-01"';
  const { result } = await client
    .database(dbId)
    .container(containerId)
    .items.query(querySpec)
    .toArray();
  return result;
}

async function run() {
  console.log('Gettings chats...');
  const chats = await getChats();
  console.log(chats.length);
}

run().catch(console.error);
