          You don't.



          AWS_SESSION_TOKEN is not used when you have IAM User access and secret keys.



          It's only needed when you use IAM Role - either through Cross-account access, or EC2 instance role, etc.

          • The error is because you most likely have a session token set in you shell. Unset it and you'll be fine.

          • @Vandhana run env | grep ^AWS_ and update your question with the output. I'll tell you what's wrong then. Also - are you on EC2 instance or on your laptop?
