Trouble using useQuery and convexQuery with queries that use ctx.auth.getUserIdentity()

So, like it says on the tin — I am unable to use the standard useQuery() (from convex/react) or the @convex-dev/react-query package's convexQuery() functions to call query() functions in my Convex API that check ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() as an auth guard mechanism.

In other places in my nextjs project (server actions), I can invoke such query functions by adding a third argument with an auth token, like this:

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server';
import { fetchQuery } from 'convex/nextjs';

const token = (await auth().getToken({ template: 'convex' })) ?? null

const someResult = await fetchQuery(
  api.messages.getLatest,
  { limit: 30 },
  { token }       // <------ clerk auth token
);


Am I using the wrong approach for auth guarding the query funciton? Or is there some different mechanism for passing a token to the useQuery() and convexQuery() functions?
