Describe the Bug

await SecretsStore.get() does not work from global context

Please provide any relevant error logs

X [ERROR] A request to the Cloudflare API (/accounts/2abd5f3a5cdcf01e98291c0a7a1f47e4/workers/scripts/dbot/versions) failed.

  Uncaught Error: Disallowed operation called within     
  global scope. Asynchronous I/O (ex: fetch() or
  connect()), setting a timeout, and generating random   
  values are not allowed within global scope. To fix this

This is by design rather than a bug. Moving to discussions as a feature request.

[touhidurrr]

The usecase is very common. Without this, it overcomplicates the code.

For example with global context:

import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';

const token = await env.DISCORD_TOKEN.get();

const discord = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);

Without:

import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';

let discord = null;

export const getDiscord = () => {
  if (discord) return discord;
  const token = await env.DISCORD_TOKEN.get();
  discord = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);
  return discord;
}

On some other file & inside some async function:

const discord = await getDiscord()
// rest of the work

So, this just makes the code overcomplicated.
