I've experienced similar symptoms with current version of chirpstack api in pypi 4.8.1 and the example downlink enqueue python script. (Downgrading to 4.8.0 solved the problem)

@Alexk12

pip install chirpstack-api

That installs the latest version, which is v4. You are using a code-example from v3. Things have changed:

@hruotsalainen please create a new issue in case you are experiencing issues with the v4 API. This is the correct repo for v4 issues: https://github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack/issues
