Explanation

The error message indicates an authentication issue (403 - Access Denied), which requires debugging Terraform logs. Setting TF_LOG=DEBUG enables detailed logs, providing insights into API requests, state loading, and authentication errors. Terraform does not log errors in /var/log/terraform.log or syslog, making options C and D A (terraform login) is only relevant for Terraform Cloud, but this error appears to be related to provider authentication.
