jira: basic_auth with API Key to Jira Cloud not working

Bug summary

I’ve got multiple projects where I initialize Jira using basic_auth and an email / api token. This has been working fine until this morning, now I’m getting complaints about basic_auth being depreciated. I’ve tried using token_auth=TOKEN, but that doesn’t work as I’m trying to hit a Cloud instance.

There is one project that already had version 3.2.0 installed locally, I am able to connect to Jira that with that version. However, when I specified 3.2.0 as the required version in a new environment, it was installed but connecting to the server still fails with the same error.

Is there a new method of connecting to Jira Cloud using an email / API key that I missed? Documentation still points me towards using basic_auth.

Thanks!!
