I believe this is caused by having invalid credentials for your self-managed backend.
The error is not as clear on this as it could be though - opened https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/13007 to track improving the error message.
If you are seeing this even with valid credentials - would love any additional notes you might have in the issue!

This happens when I try to start a fresh project. I checked all the environment vars on my machine and non are set. Anything in particular I should grab for the issue?

Depends on your backend. You need the normal env vars / config files for AWS, GCP, Azure or whatever you're using. The credentials associated with various Pulumi provider objects are not used for this step.
