Trouble Creating Preview Deployment

I’m having trouble deploying a Preview Deployment.
I am not using Vercel or Netflify. 
Just Convex Cloud for the backend, and the React/Vite frontend is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

I did the following:
1. Created a Preview Deploy key under Project Settings in the dashboard.
2. Set this an env var $CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY that starts with preview:” in my terminal.
3. Created a Preview Deployment called
staging
by running npx convex deploy --preview-create staging --yes (successful)
4. Added the appropriate environment variables to the above deployment including CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY

However, when I run
npx convex deploy
, I get the error:
✖
npx convex deploy
to a preview deployment could not determine the preview name. Provide one using --preview-create

It looks similar to this issue: using Preview deployments with cloudflare, requested to create a name for preview
