KQL search return System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Question

I'm using kql to search files in a sharepoint online using CSOM in a sharepoint add-in. It works so far until 29th january 2021 I noticed that using the method new sharepointonlinecredential, passing username and password works. I get the context using the tokenhelper class with GetClientContextWithAccessToken (suggested method for authenticate sharepoint add-in). Could you help me?

Did you check to see if your token is still valid for what you're trying to access? Is it possible your token expired? — SendETHToThisAddress

Please make sure you add the QueryAsUserIgnoreAppPrincipal permissions for search add-ins:
