await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() returns null in http action

I have a react app and using Auth0.
  <React.StrictMode>
    <Auth0Provider
      domain={auth0_domain || ""}
      clientId={auth0_clientId || ""}
      authorizationParams={{
        redirect_uri: window.location.origin,
      }}
      useRefreshTokens={true}
      cacheLocation="localstorage"
    >
      <ConvexProviderWithAuth0 client={convex}>
        <App/>
      </ConvexProviderWithAuth0>
    </Auth0Provider>
  </React.StrictMode>
  <React.StrictMode>
    <Auth0Provider
      domain={auth0_domain || ""}
      clientId={auth0_clientId || ""}
      authorizationParams={{
        redirect_uri: window.location.origin,
      }}
      useRefreshTokens={true}
      cacheLocation="localstorage"
    >
      <ConvexProviderWithAuth0 client={convex}>
        <App/>
      </ConvexProviderWithAuth0>
    </Auth0Provider>
  </React.StrictMode>


I am able to authenticate the user and get access token from Auth0, however when I pass this token to Authorization header of a request to http action, in my http action - 
await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() 
await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity()
returns null.

  const { getAccessTokenSilently } = useAuth0();
  let token: string;
  getAccessTokenSilently().then(t => token = t);
  const { getAccessTokenSilently } = useAuth0();
  let token: string;
  getAccessTokenSilently().then(t => token = t);

 await fetch(`${convexSiteUrl}/chat`, {
      method: "POST",
      body: JSON.stringify(requestBody),
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
      },
    });
 await fetch(`${convexSiteUrl}/chat`, {
      method: "POST",
      body: JSON.stringify(requestBody),
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
      },
    });

What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
