Can’t access Amazon Textract — redirected to “Complete your account setup” even with active free tier

Based on your description, it sounds like you're encountering an IAM permissions issue with Amazon Textract rather than a problem with your account setup or Free Tier status.

Even when using the Free Tier, you need to have the proper IAM permissions configured to access Amazon Textract. The error message redirecting you to "Complete your account setup" might be misleading, as your account appears to be properly set up with a payment method and promotional credits.

To resolve this issue, you should check whether your IAM user has the appropriate permissions for Textract operations. You may need to attach a policy to your IAM user that allows Textract actions, particularly the "textract:DetectDocumentText" permission.

Here's an example of an IAM policy you could attach to grant the necessary permissions:

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"textract:DetectDocumentText"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}

Additionally, if you're trying to use certain Textract features that require passing a role to the service, you might need the "iam:PassRole" permission as well.

After updating your IAM permissions, you should be able to access the Textract console and API without being redirected to the account setup page.
