Elastisearch snapshots error - Can not find an azure client for account

Hi Elasticsearch,

I want to update the Azure storage account that we upload snapshots to but I get the below error:
"Can not find an azure client for account [null]]" this is only happening when I change the storage account. This new storage account is in a different region and subscription. Please let me know if there's any other details that you may need.

NOTE: Same error as this topic but I saw that it was closed. I have double checked my credentials and storage account name and I believe them to be correct:

OS: Centos7
Elasticsearch Version: 2.4.6
Plugin: cloud-azure-2.4.6.zip
(https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/cloud-azure/2.4.6/cloud-azure-2.4.6.zip)

**/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

...
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ['<IP1>', '<IP2>', '<IP3>', '<IP4>', '<IP5>']
cloud.azure.storage.opening.account: "STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME"
cloud.azure.storage.opening.key: "SECRET_KEY"
...

create_snapshot.sh

$ curl -X PUT "<IP>:9200/_snapshot/${repo}/${backup}?wait_for_completion=true&pretty"
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [ {
      "type" : "repository_exception",
      "reason" : "[elasticsearch-snapshots] Can not find an azure client for account [null]"
    } ],
    "type" : "repository_exception",
    "reason" : "[elasticsearch-snapshots] Can not find an azure client for account [null]",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
      "reason" : "Can not find an azure client for account [null]"
    }
  },
  "status" : 500
}
