What went wrong?

When trying to deploy an ERC 20 token, I am getting:

ValueError: {'code': -32601, 'message': 'the method eth_feeHistory does not exist/is not available'}

I am using the default script provided by the ERC 20 token template provided by Ape Academy. I am able to deploy the token fine on Ethereum mainnet and testnets as well as optimism.

I tried with two different RPC providers, Ankr (https://rpc.ankr.com/bsc) and Quicknode (requires API key).
