Proposed fix: [boto3/botocore] AWS_PROFILE ignored: stale AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SESSION_TOKEN env vars win the credential chain (expired or wrong-account errors) — only an explicit Session(profile_nam
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: `unset AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SESSION_TOKEN AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` before relying on a profile; verify with `aws sts get-caller-identity` and `aws configure list` (shows the source of each value); in code pass boto3.Session(profile_name=...).
Option: Clear env credentials before using profiles [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. unset AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
2. export AWS_PROFILE=<p>
3. aws sts get-caller-identity
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
