I am experiencing this also. Similarly to the guy who replied to this post. This is the error message I am recieving, exactly like one of the replies to the comment had. Soundcloud guy said he could not help me. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

It's now August 5th, 2021 and I am having the same problem when trying to log into Soundcloud using Studio One Pro v.5.3. I constantly get the following error and since this seems to be an old problem, I have to ask... why hasn't it been addressed by anyone at PreSonus or fixed in the application? My ability to log-in directly to my SoundCloud page was one of the reasons I bought StudioOne Pro. We could use some advice from the folks at PreSonus on this. Thanks in advance for the help.

When you get the error code in your browser, delete the last "&scope=non-expiring" part of the URL and hit Enter. This worked for me.
