Public shared file and script: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ux02RKEgBwHxGM1OZawWxPBrnHULjUwE98KPY2MOfZM/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Problem  encountered:

The `SpreadsheetApp.openById()` method is throwing an "Unexpected error" exception, preventing me from accessing a spreadsheet. This occurs even in minimal test cases with brand new spreadsheets and scripts, suggesting a broader issue with the Apps Script environment or my account's interaction with it.  The specific error message is: "Exception: Unexpected error while getting the method or property openById on object SpreadsheetApp."



What I expected to happen:

I expected `SpreadsheetApp.openById()` to successfully open the spreadsheet and return a Spreadsheet object, allowing me to access its properties and methods (like `getName()`, `canEdit()`, etc.).


Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Google Sheet.
2. Open the Script editor (Tools > Script editor).
3. Create a new, empty Apps Script project.
4. Paste the following code into the script editor:

   ```javascript
   function testOpenById() {
     try {
       const spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1Ux02RKEgBwHxGM1OZawWxPBrnHULjUwE98KPY2MOfZM'); // Replace with the ID of your spreadsheet
       Logger.log("Spreadsheet name: " + spreadsheet.getName());
     } catch (error) {
       Logger.log("Error: " + error);
     }
   }

I have tried this with multiple spreadsheets, including brand new spreadsheets created specifically for testing.

I have created new Apps Script projects to rule out project-specific issues.

I have verified that the spreadsheet IDs are correct.

I have ensured that the script is running under a Google account that has edit access to the spreadsheet.

I have tested in different browsers (Chrome, Firefox) and in incognito mode.

I have cleared my browser's cache and cookies.

I have confirmed that the Apps Script project is using the V8 runtime.

I have checked the Google Workspace Status Dashboard for any reported outages.

I have tried using Utilities.sleep() after openById() to rule out potential timing issues.

I have consulted the Apps Script documentation on SpreadsheetApp and permissions: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet-app

None of these workarounds have resolved the issue. The error persists even in minimal test cases, suggesting a deeper problem with the Apps Script environment or my account's interaction with it.
