    @willi@m I just tried below command and it went through successfully !!

    az storage blob list --account-name "straccountname" --container-name "books" -o table --sas-token "?sv=2022-11-02&ss=b&srt=sco&sp=rwdlaciytfx&se=2023-07-30T00:15:13Z&st=2023-07-24T16:15:13Z&spr=https&sig=saso%3D"

    Couple of things:

    1. While generating the SAS token try to give Start time like an hour before and select the appropriate end time
    2. Make sure to keep the SAS Token in double quotes
    3. Try to run in normal command prompt or also try in powershell prompt

    Here is the screen shot of successful execution of the command:
