I just did a factory reset and am attempting to restore message on Galaxy Pixel XL.

SMSB+ set as default messaging app
Backup stored on Gmail account
After pressing Restore, shows "Working" and "Calculating..."
After about 30-40 seconds, shows "Error" and "Error during backup/restore: IO Error"
Pop notification appears "Change messaging app?; Do you want to use Messages instead of SMSB+ as your default messaging app?"
I varied the number of messages to retrieve resulting in the same error.
I've reviewed previous threads and didn't see any solutions on this specific issue. If I missed it please redirect (and forgive) me. Any help would be appreciated.
