I did run az login and signed into my Azure account.

Question:

I can't find out what I'm doing wrong?

Tested in my environment getting the same error when i haven't connected with any active account.

As Suggested by cdub is correct , Tried running az logout multiple times until you see There are no active accounts, running az login, az account set -s <your-subscription-name>, then re-running terraform init and finally, terraform plan

#get the current default subscription using show
az account show --output table
