@davidmukiibi, I don't think you need this command if you have set the environment variable properly.

This was NOT required in the past instructions https://loadimpact.com/integrations/performance-testing-circleci/

login_loadimpact: &login_loadimpact
  run:
    name: Logging into loadimpact
    command: |
      k6 login cloud --token $K6_CLOUD_TOKEN

Can you check out and confirm it?
