* influx CLI 2.0.0+
* Updated in CLI v2.0.5

#### Command not supported

The `influx query` command and the InfluxDB `/api/v2/query` API endpoint it uses
don’t work with InfluxDB Cloud Serverless.

Use [SQL](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/query-data/sql/execute-queries/) or [InfluxQL](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/query-data/influxql/execute-queries/) tools to query a InfluxDB Cloud Serverless bucket.
