Error: DynamoDB - The Security Token Included In The Request Is Invalid

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error can occur due to inactive user credentials, incorrect access keys, or incorrect secret access keys.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
Check whether your access keys/ security credentials have been changed or expired. In case of expirations, get a new set of security credentials. Then you can try again with your new access keys and credentials to resolve this error. Don't forget to verify that the credentials are associated with the account you are trying to access.
