    I’ve turned off plugins, updated wordpress version, checked other permissions and can’t seem to isolate the cause. Even doing something as simple as:

    <script>
console.log('hi):
</script>

    throws the error:

    Do you have the unfiltered_html capability? You can’t put scripts in the editor if you don’t.
    To get more information, use your browser’s Developer Tools to view the REST response content. That would be on the Net tab of the Tools. Anything (like an error message) that is not in JSON format will cause the error you are seeing.
