Just a minor note about the code: boto3 already understands environment variable credentials so there is no reason to pass those through to the client initializer.

About the issue, that looks like its what the service returns when you don’t have access to the stream, or possibly it doesn’t exist. Either way this is a service issue so you should either ask on stack overflow or on the service forum
