Report #99646

[bug\_fix] An error occurred \(ExpiredToken\) when calling the InvokeModel operation: The security token included in the request is expired.

Run \`aws sts get-caller-identity --debug\` to find the active credential source. If using AWS IAM Identity Center \(SSO\), run \`aws sso login --profile \`. If using \`aws sts assume-role\`, re-run it with a longer \`--duration-seconds\`, or unset stale \`AWS\_ACCESS\_KEY\_ID\`/\`AWS\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY\`/\`AWS\_SESSION\_TOKEN\` environment variables so the SDK refreshes from the shared credentials file. Long-running processes must obtain fresh credentials before the session expires; temporary credentials cannot be extended.

Journey Context:
A CI job that runs end-to-end tests started failing after about an hour with ExpiredToken, even though \`aws sts get-caller-identity\` worked fine from a fresh shell. I checked \`~/.aws/credentials\` and saw keys, then noticed the runner had exported \`AWS\_SESSION\_TOKEN\` from an earlier \`aws sts get-session-token\` call. The token's expiration was stored in \`AWS\_CREDENTIAL\_EXPIRATION\`, and it had passed while the test process was still running. The SDK loaded the env vars at startup and never refreshed them. After unsetting the three env vars and switching the runner to an IAM role that the SDK could refresh automatically, the overnight tests passed. The same pattern appears with SSO sessions when the cached access token expires.
