An error occurred (InvalidClientTokenId) when calling the DescribeDBInstances operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.

the first command is not executing. Please help me!

Perhaps in that URL, “rds” should not be followed by two dots.

Got it! Thank you so much for responding immediately.

I tried C1W2 lab today and did not get this error. Please let me know if you’re still encountering this issue

For other learners who might run into this issue: This is usually temporary. Click the Help (?) button on the upper right then click Reboot. This will reset the lab and might take a few minutes. After that, the command should now work and give you a valid endpoint. If it still fails after that, then you can report here so the staff can check.

Hi @chris.favila , reading your above update. I am still getting the error, after multiple reboot attempts. *ValueError: Invalid endpoint: https://dynamodb..amazonaws.com
*
I tried specifying a function, but I guess the lab is designed to not work this way: *ClientError: An error occurred (UnrecognizedClientException) when calling the CreateTable operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.
*
My lab ID is: pzlsvnpzasnt
Would appreciate your support on this issue. Thanks in advance.
