Receiving client.text_client_status_default when trying to log into VM via Bastion

I am receiving client.text_client_status_default error when I try to log into VMs via Bastion. This is only affecting me. Other people can log into the VMs just fine. I have tried different browsers, different laptops (same network though). private/incognito windows, on and off VPN...all with the same error. I've tried logging into multiple VMs using credentials from LCS.

I feel like this is a network issue maybe? But do not know where to start to try to figure it out. I was connecting fine a few days ago.

Any input is appreciated.

Thank you.

    Hello @Thompson, Elonna,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

    We got a suggestion from one of the OP, The issue was resolved by following the below steps, we have requested to add the same IAM role, and after adding the IAM role, issue got mitigated.

    "Assigned the Reader IAM role to a group of users for the server vnets" Since then, you can be able to connect to the servers via Bastion.**

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.**

    @Thompson, Elonna This morning, I assigned the Reader IAM role to a group of users for the server vnets. Since then, we have been able to connect to the servers via Bastion. I am a bit puzzled though as this IAM role was never a requirement on the vnets. I wonder if there was a recent change on the Microsoft side. Wanted to pass this along in the event you are seeing the same.
