 In the context of AWS, here are the steps given for how you can troubleshoot and resolve the issue:-

Checking client token expiry

Try to verify that the client token being used has expired. You can regenerate new Credentials if needed.

Verify the correctness of the client token

You can try to ensure that the client token should be correctly formatted and matches the expected Credentials.

AWS region validation

You can try to confirm that the AWS region should be specified in the API request matches the region associated with the client token.

Permission verification

You can check if the client token has the required permissions for performing the API operations. You can review and also update permission if required.

Retry with valid Credentials

If you find that your client token is expired or even invalid, then you can obtain new Credentials from the AWS management console or IAM and retry the API call.

Here is the coding snippet given for AWS CLI:-
