You are using a v2 client with that v2 endpoint?

Yes.

I also don’t get “state” value when the user denied.

Ok here’s what I just found out,

Had the same issue as you are having and make sure you’re client encodes the []  
I just played with the API via Postman and Postman does not encode the special characters apparently

So try sending [https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/identity?include=campaign&fields%5Buser%5D=about](https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2/identity?include=campaign&fields%5Buser%5D=about)

Yes, if the brackets are not urlencoded in request, it could cause this error.
