Error: missing secret key. A secret key is needed to secure Payload.

This was working yesterday in sveltekit, but today if fails with this error after I npm run dev:

But my config has the secret PAYLOAD_SECRET property from my .env file:

import path from 'path'
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'
import { postgresAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-postgres'

import { Products } from './collections/Products'

const filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)
const dirname = path.dirname(filename)

export default buildConfig({
  collections: [Products],
  secret: process.env.PAYLOAD_SECRET || '',
  typescript: {
    outputFile: path.resolve(dirname, 'payload-types.ts'),
  },
  db: postgresAdapter({
    pool: {
      connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URI || '',
    },
  })
})

I then use the local API as such, this is where the error comes from but it was working yesterday

import config from '../../payload.config'
import { getPayload } from 'payload';

const payload = await getPayload({ config });

export async function load() {
  const data = await payload.findByID({
    collection: 'products',
    id: 1
  });

  return data;
}

I have not changed my package.json at all, in fact, I only ran the command since yesterday and now it gives me this error. I am using payload 3.0.0-beta.74
