Does Tweepy not work with new Twitter API? #2201

Question

I've been trying (and failing) for the life of me to just simply connect to the twitter api using tweepy and post 1 tweet. I have no idea why my code won't work, it keeps giving me the error that I don't have a high enough access level. (tweepy.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden 453 - You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only.)

(Obviously the credentials.py file has my actual credentials in their respective areas) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tried everything, expected it to post a tweet. Also expected it not to be such a nightmare to use twitters awful new api

Relevant Code

import tweepy
from credentials import twitter_bot_keys

auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
    twitter_bot_keys['API Key'],
    twitter_bot_keys['API Key Secret'],
    twitter_bot_keys['Access Token'],
    twitter_bot_keys['Access Token Secret']
)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

api.update_status("test")

Traceback

tweepy.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden
453 - You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/product
