Hi afierro97

I believe is not a permission issue. Use ServerRelativeUrl instead of SiteRelativeUrl and put the url of the file instead of the $file object.

Rename-PnPFile -ServerRelativeUrl  "/sites/MySite/Shared Documents/myfolder/myfile.txt" -TargetFileName "renamedfile.txt" -Force -Verbose

Hi afierro97
Just to make it clear, in your example "/sites/Clients/folder/subfolder/" note that folder should be the library url and then your folders

  Yes, i've changed the names of the path for confidenciality but i've built the path like this:
  "/sites/<name of the site>/<name of the library>/<folder>/<File.txt>"
