Unauthorized error send message from function app to eventgrid when Debugging but OK when run in Azure

I have a function app with a function that sends message to event grid. The function app is RBAC enrolled and authorized. A function in this same function app is subscribed to this event grid topic. When I publish the app to Azure and run it remote it works just fine, but when I run it locally debugging in VS2022 I get unauthorized access to send message. Debuggin in VS2022 works fine for other Azure related stuff we do.

When I execute in debug mode in VS2022 the function app to send data to event grid I get unauthorized error:

//Name of the endpoint of Event grid topic
    string topicEndpoint = transformAlgoSendRMessage_TopicEP;
    //Creating client to publish events to eventgrid topic
    EventGridPublisherClient client = new EventGridPublisherClient(new Uri(topicEndpoint), new DefaultAzureCredential());
    //Creating a sample event with Subject, Eventtype, dataVersion and data
    EventGridEvent egEvent = new EventGridEvent("TransformTelemetry", "TransformAlgorithm.broadcastTransform", "1.0", machinePartTransformTelemetry);
    // Send the event
    
    try
    {
        await client.SendEventAsync(egEvent);
        if (b_debug_contractor)
            log.LogInformation("SendRTransformMessage sent transformdata - PosX:" + machinePartTransformTelemetry[1]);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        log.LogError("Failed to send SendRTransformMessage. " + e.Message);
    }

mysubscriptionid is as shown in the function app screen:

I'm on Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.4.1

The exception was caused by a log statement in the try statement, irrelevant to send to eventgrid, I can't tell how this stopped from being authorized, now it works.

if (b_debug_contractor)
        log.LogInformation("SendRTransformMessage sent transformdata - PosX:" + machinePartTransformTelemetry[1]);
