Fix
As per This Stack Overflow answer, with version 4 and above of the Node.js client (the current default for serverless functions is 5.0.3), you now need to supply an identity property in the AccessToken config. For example:
const token = new AccessToken(
twilioAccountSid,
twilioApiKey,
twilioApiSecret,
{ identity }
);
token.addGrant(voiceGrant);
// token.identity = identity;
