AADSTS650051
This error can appear when performing a tenant access check. Try a GDAP check to see if you have the correct permissions in place, when you do try a CPV refresh, if the CPV refresh fails with an error it means we most likely do not have write access to the tenant.
Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.
The user does not have sufficient access rights to perform the operation or is missing the necessary Exchange role. Check the user's access rights and Exchange role information, when using GDAP the user must be in the "Exchange Administrators" group.
Device object was not found in the tenant 'xxxxxxxxxx' or 'UserPrincipal doesn't have the key ID configured'
When executing the first authorization for CIPP, a trusted device was used. This device has been deleted from the Intune portal. Reauthorization is required by using the SAM Wizard "I'd like to refresh my tokens" option.
The provided grant has expired due to it being revoked, a fresh auth token is needed. The user might have changed or reset their password
The user that authorized the CSP or Graph API connection has had their password changed, sessions revoked, or account disabled. Reauthorization is required by using the SAM Wizard "I'd like to refresh my tokens" option.
Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access
This error can have two causes.
The user has not had MFA set up when performing authorization.
The client has Conditional Access policies blocking CIPP's access. See the chapter about Conditional Access to resolve.
presented multi-factor authentication has expired to the policies configured by your administrator, you must refresh your multi-factor authentication to access
This error occurs when a Conditional Access Policy has set the maximum lifetime. Suggested is to change the Conditional Access Policy to exclude "Service Provider users". See the chapter about how to resolve this under Conditional Access.
The token has expired
The refresh token could not be retrieved and stored. The user must reauthorize.
The property 'LastGraphError' cannot be found on this object
This error occurs when CIPP cannot write to the errors table - Clear your tenant cache from the settings menu and try again. You might also receive the error when a tenant access check has failed, the only way to clear the Last Graph Error is by removing the tenant cache.

this issue can occur when you have restarted the app during an important task. It's never recommended to restart the function app, and if you do unexpected results can happen. The Function Host uses something called durable functions, which when handled incorrectly can cause performance issues or increase costs due to looping tasks.
Log In to Azure Portal: Sign in to your Azure account at portal.azure.com.
Navigate to Storage Account: Go to 'Storage accounts' and select the storage account that starts with 'CIPP'
