Q keeps trying to call the AWS CLI after credentials have expired

[ry4n-sc0tt]

Checks

• I have searched github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

macOS 14.7.6 (23H626)

Expected behaviour

After Q gets an error due to expired credentials (ExpiredTokenException, RequestExpired, etc), it should stop trying and prompt me to sign in again.

Actual behaviour

After Q gets an error due to expired credentials (ExpiredTokenException, RequestExpired, etc), it keeps making more CLI calls to try and get more information another way.

Steps to reproduce

1. Sign in to AWS with a token that will expire in one hour.
2. Use Q for more than one hour.
