Is this the issue that we're discussing over here? https://github.com/philnash/react-programmable-chat/issues/6 — philnash, Jan 21 '19 at 03:11
Ok, I see you have sorted it with Twilio support. Good luck with the rest of your app! — philnash, Jan 21 '19 at 21:15

The issues were between my device and Twilio. so I run the test bellow to find out what was the issue for me it was a network/firewall issue. fixed that and now it is working

Just in case anyone arrived at this post who wasn't having network/firewall issues.

I was getting this error periodically using Twilio Sync. It was caused by an invalid token or in my case when the token expired after a period of time. You need to handle refreshing the token, similar to this:

_syncClient = new SyncClient(getNewToken());

_syncClient.on('tokenAboutToExpire', function() {
       _syncClient.updateToken(getNewToken());
});
