This is the answer I keep getting everywhere. I have read all the docs and I still can't find a good answer, however it is possible I am reading over something. The point is that I do not have any client customers, nor do I want any. I am not trying to manage campaigns or any data from any accounts. I am just trying to do a simple keyword search using the keyword planner. Why do I need a client customer id? Regardless, I have tried putting that field into the .yaml file with my manager account id and my linked account's id (which I suppose could be considered my "client"), but I am still getting the same error.
