Unsuccessful response status code. Request failed with status code 404 #1706
Description
I am using the google-auth-library to run v2 Firebase task functions as per the documentation. After I deployed today, I was getting this error everytime another function tried to queue a task:

The issue seems to have been introduced by #1692 (cc @danielbankhead).
It suddenly appeard for me because Firebase doesn't respect your lockfile when deploying. My package.json specified "google-auth-library": "^9.2.0" but I was getting the latest 9.4.0 when deploying. I can resolve this issue by instead fixing my dependency to "google-auth-library": "9.2.0". The error when goes away and I am able to queue tasks correctly.
