Issues with 1inch swap API

Question

I am trying to use 1inch swap API, but getting error most of the time. I'm trying to swap USDT to one custom token. The required allowance has already been provided.

I sometime get the response (even this has some issue, will highlight it below) But for most of the time, Im getting cannot estimate error.

API URL: https://api.1inch.io/v4.0/56/swap?fromTokenAddress=0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955&toTokenAddress=0xaf3889ba617ac973b358513d9031778d2bc783df&amount=1000000000000000000&fromAddress=0x06125e1457f833E29D5aebAaCdF8eED8A6Febaee&slippage=8

Error response:

{
    "statusCode": 400,
    "error": "Bad Request",
    "description": "cannot estimate",
    "meta": [],
    "requestId": "46c5abbb-347d-43d1-9c90-35ab8a220449"
}

And when getting the response, the value is always 0.

Response:

    }
}

Can someone suggest me what exactly is the issue here?
