JSONDecodeError after updating to Pro 2.7

Question

Since updating to Pro 2.7 this morning I can no longer connect to our Enterprise Portal using the ArcGIS API for Python. Previously, I could connect using this line-

gis = GIS('https://portaladdress/portal',verify_cert=False)

But now suddenly it errors out returning

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Any ideas? Thanks

Maybe this workaround will help... https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000024610

Would anyone have any updates on this? I just upgraded the Python API in Jupyter Notebooks to v1.9 and now its having the same issue so I will have to downgrade back to my old v1.6. Still no luck connecting in Pro now with 2.8.

Yes, Portal and server are both operating normally. Again, this began happening immediately after upgrading to Pro 2.7.
