Recommended action: Run `aws sts get-caller-identity` with the same AWS_PROFILE; do `aws sso login` before starting; raise CLAUDE_CODE_AWS_CHAIN_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT_MS only for legitimately slow interactive helpers (aws-vault + MFA). Option: Pre-resolve credentials outside Claude Code [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: see problem Steps: 1. aws sts get-caller-identity --profile <p> 2. aws sso login --profile <p> 3. Optionally set CLAUDE_CODE_AWS_CHAIN_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT_MS Expected: Chain resolves from cache Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
