For me, this was due to having multiple sites. I changed the project name rather than the site name and therefor didn't have permissions.

Your .firebaserc file points to the "project" within Firebase.

{
  "projects": {
    "default": "my-project"
  }
}

While the firebase.json file points to the "site" within Firebase.

{
  "hosting": {
    "site": "my-site"
  }
}
