Why do I get an CredentialReportNotPresentException error after generating a credentials report less than four hours ago?

Hello. The "CredentialReportNotPresentException" error in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) typically occurs when you try to access a credentials report that hasn't been generated or isn't available yet, even if you've generated one recently. This can happen due to several reasons:

Delay in Report Generation: After you request a credentials report in AWS IAM, it may take some time for AWS to generate the report. While it's designed to be generated within a few hours, there can be delays depending on AWS service usage.

Report Frequency: AWS IAM generates a new credentials report at most once every four hours. If you try to access the report again before it's regenerated, you'll receive the "CredentialReportNotPresentException" error.

Permissions: Ensure that the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user or role you are using to access the report has the necessary permissions to do so. You need permissions for the iam:GetCredentialReport action.
