error: API request failed Invalid token (401 status) but sentry-cli works

Hello I have added @sentry/webpack-plugin to my webpack configuration:

    new SentryWebpackPlugin({
      authToken: dotEnv.definitions['process.env.APP_SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN'],
      org: 'my-org-slug',
      project: package.name,
      release: gitRevisionWebpackPlugin.commithash(),
      include: './dist/',
      ignore: [ 'node_modules', 'webpack.common.js', 'webpack.dev.js', 'webpack.prod.js' ],
    }),

When running compilation with SENTRY_LOG_LEVEL=debug I get following output

webpack 5.2.0 compiled with 1 error in 18690 ms
ℹ ｢wdm｣: Failed to compile.

(NOTE: I have replaced project, org name, token value with dummy values).

I’m using dotenv to load token value into my webpack config so dotEnv.definitions['process.env.APP_SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN'] actually contains a token I created under my organization’s settings -> developer setttings -> internal integration:

For package.name I’m using my NPM’s package name which is identical to project name set up in Sentry. For release I’m using git-revision-webpack-plugin to load latest Git SHA1 hash. I also have different webpack config files: webpack.prod.js, webpack.common.js and webpack.dev.js. In this instance I’m launching build using webpack.dev.js (which then uses webpack-merge package to merge webpack.common.js configuration). I also checked my organization settings that my-org-slug is the same as in Sentry.

When I log the values used for the plugin, they all are present and correct.

I tried running sentry-clilike this:

SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=[token] ./node_modules/.bin/sentry-cli releases --org=[my-org-slug] --project=[myproject] new [mygitsha1].

This succesfully created release in my Sentry dashboard. However I still need to upload source maps which is why I wanted to use this plugin so it’s more automated. The usage of sentry-cli proves that my auth credentials are correct so I don’t know why this is failing.
