Auth works via CLI, but cannot authenticate via python api

Hello.

I've tried to use CLI with generated captcha token for a several times and it's working properly.

Now I try to use bimmer_connected in a python script, I've used example from the documentation:

import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from bimmer_connected.account import MyBMWAccount
from bimmer_connected.api.regions import Regions

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv()

# Get credentials from environment variables
USERNAME = os.getenv('BMW_USERNAME')
PASSWORD = os.getenv('BMW_PASSWORD')
HCAPTCHA_TOKEN = os.getenv('BMW_HCAPTCHA_TOKEN')
VIN = 'myvin :)' 

async def main():
    # hcaptcha_token is only required for the first login, see the captcha documentation
    account = MyBMWAccount(USERNAME, PASSWORD, Regions.NORTH_AMERICA, hcaptcha_token=HCAPTCHA_TOKEN)
    await account.get_vehicles()
    # vehicle = account.get_vehicle(VIN)
    #print(vehicle.brand, vehicle.name, vehicle.vin)

    # result = await vehicle.remote_services.trigger_remote_light_flash()
    # print(result.state)

asyncio.run(main())

I am still getting the error: bimmer_connected.models.MyBMWAuthError: HTTPStatusError: invalid_client - Client authentication failed (e.g., login failure, unknown client, no client authentication included or unsupported authentication method).

credentials are ok, captcha as well - I've tested if the are properly read from .env file.

What can I do to fix it?

Just double checking - captcha is read from env correctly? Also, you have refreshed the captcha with every try, as it is not long-lived and can only be used once?

On a sidenote: I'm currently thinking about a helper to help facilitate the login process, as I'm not really happy with it when using it directly in python.

It looks like it's not :)
I've made the following changes in my code, and now it's working properly.

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv(".env", override=True)

Thank you ;)

Now I'm struggling with avoiding to refreshing captcha and instead to reuse the existing ones. I try to develop a python script triggered manually to get some info about the car.
