Desktop add-ins: “Access denied to catalog”; works in Word Online

The exact error message: "Access denied to catalog"
That the issue occurs with all Office add-ins
That the add-ins work correctly in Word Online but not in the desktop app
That you are signed in with the same Microsoft 365 account in both locations
I've tried everything. 
Case number: 7109161427
