geocodeAddresses always returns "User does not have permissions to store geocoding results."

Question

I am trying to make a request to the geocodeAddresses endpoint using the `bulkGeocode` function in the `@esri/arcgis-rest-geocoding` package. No matter what I do it always returns "User does not have permissions to store geocoding results." even when I pass `forStorage=false` into the params. I have verified the correct param is being passed to the service. Is this a bug?

I think the assumption here is that bulk geocoding is always a pay service.

Thanks. So the assumption is that bulk geocoding is always stored even when it is not?

Bulk or batch geocoding is always a pay service and requires authentication. The forStorage parameter will only be useful for single geocode requests. Doc for reference:
