Tricky situation with Phone Number Verification

Hey guys! Dealing with an issue with login by phone verification. I managed to pull it off about a week ago but for the life of me can't seem to make it work again. I can create a token with account.CreatePhoneToken, that's all being logged in console and seems fine. However, I cannot get past const session = await account.createSession(userId, verificationCode); The userId is coming from the token and the verificationCode is the 6 digit code coming from the text I recieve. Am I missing something obvious here?

for context the exact error is [AppwriteException: Invalid token passed in the request.]
