That error is clear. you do not have sufficient funds. This is how you are getting the account information:
const { API_URL, PRIVATE_KEY } = process.env;
I had an issue with webpack once destructuring process.env. Try this
// ASSUMING you pass correct private key here
const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;
console.log the private key.
If it does not get resolved, that means you are not passing the correct PRIVATE_KEY.
