stderr nAn error occurred InvalidClientTokenId when calling the PutMetricData operation The security token included in the request is invalid - Ansible

Question

I'm trying to create workers from my Ansible Master. This is my playbook:

- name: Provisioning Spot instaces
  ec2:
    assign_public_ip: no
    spot_price: "{{ ondemand4_price }}"
    spot_wait_timeout: 300
    assign_public_ip: no
    aws_access_key: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.access_key }}"
    aws_secret_key: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.secret_key }}"
    security_token: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.session_token }}"
    region: "{{ aws_region }}"
    image: "{{ image_instance }}"
    instance_type: "{{ large_instance }}"
    key_name: "{{ ssh_keyname }}"
    count: "{{ ninstances }}"
    state: present
    group_id: "{{ priv_sg }}"
    vpc_subnet_id: "{{ subnet_id }}"
    instance_profile_name: 'ML-Ansible'
    wait: true
    instance_tags:
      Name: Worker
    #delete_on_termination: yes
  register: ec2
  ignore_errors: True

I get the following error when I try to execute it. Please help!

"stderr": "\nAn error occurred (InvalidClientTokenId) when calling the PutMetricData operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.",

Was the credentials file configured before you created an AMI or after? If it was created before then you might want to try creating the credentials file after.

Let me know if this helps:)
