What's Wrong?

I configured awsAuthRefresh in Claude Code’s settings.json, but the command is triggered every time I run Claude, regardless of whether the AWS credentials have expired.

{
   "awsAuthRefresh": "aws sso login --profile <MY_PROFILE_NAME>"
}

What Should Happen?

wsAuthRefresh should only run when the AWS credentials are expired.

I was hitting this problem until I noticed the role name was not the same as the one I had access to in AWS.

so, double check the values - account number, role name, and IAM configs.

edit: actually, nevermind.. it came back when I prompted something..

edit2: changed to Administrator role and it's working now, then I realized the account did not have the necessary IAM configuration set!
