Verification with sepolia network

[Chizitere01]

At 9:10:09 of the course, i tried running the scripts used in order to verify the contract

yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network sepolia

I get this error

Error: could not decode result data (value="0x", info={ "method": "retrieve", "signature": "retrieve()" }, code=BAD_DATA, version=6.6.2)

}
error Command failed with exit code 1.

but whenever I run the script without specifying the network, it runs perfectly

yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js 

I get this result when I run the line above

Deploying contract
Deployed contract to: 0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3
Current Value is : 0
Updated Value is : 7
Done in 3.63s.

here is how my module.exports look

module.exports = {
    defaultNetworks: "hardhat",
    networks: {
        sepolia: {
            url: SEPOLIA_RPC_URL,
            accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY],
            chainId: 11155111,
        },
    },
    solidity: "0.8.7",
    etherscan: {
        apiKey: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,
    },
}

and here is how the if operator looks

if (network.config.chainId === 11155111 && process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEYS) {
        console.log("Waiting for block confirmations... ")
        await simpleStorage.deploymentTransaction.wait(6)
        await verify(simpleStorageAddress, [])
    }

Downgrade your ethers version to the one used in the course. I think it is ***@***.***
