After working through this with @Tim_Scaffidi we realized that the user being passed in for the `Api-Username` had been automatically deactived by the `SiteSetting.invalidate_inactive_admin_email_after_days`. There likely is a bug related to this setting where api calls made by a user are not updating that user’s “login” activity.
