Research direction

Start by locating the SuggestDefiningUrlIf401AfterErrorHook and inspect how it receives the URL and handles 401 responses. Confirm the suggestion is logged only for serverless access, and verify that a 401 from the free API still reports an invalid key without the misleading switch suggestion.

Description

bug

The SuggestDefiningUrlIf401AfterErrorHook logs a suggestion to switch to the free api if you get back a 401. However, we don't check the url that was actually used. We should only log this if you are accessing serverless, and you get a 401. Otherwise, you could be correctly pointing to the free api and the key is really just invalid.
