Can't upload to S3 (Cloudflare R2)

you created the wrong token type - you have a general API token. you need to create an R2 bucket token:

  1. go to the cloudflare dashboard → R2 object storage (left sidebar under storage & databases).
  2. on the right side of the R2 overview page, click manage (API tokens).
  3. click create account API token.
  4. fill in an appropriate token name and set Permissions to object read & write then save
  5. this will output an access key id and a secret access key. those are what you need to put into discourse’s S3 configuration

and yes you need to remove trailing slashes because discourse will likely reject them
