Hello,
I was wondering if region me-central-1 is enabled in your AWS account, it is listed in the output of aws ec2 describe-regions?

[andi-pangeran]

@denis256 its not enabled and not listed in there

my full multi-region-common.hcl:

 # A list of all AWS regions
  all_aws_regions = [
    "af-south-1",
    "ap-east-1",
    "ap-northeast-1",
    "ap-northeast-2",
    "ap-northeast-3",
    "ap-south-1",
    "ap-southeast-1",
    "ap-southeast-2",
    "ap-southeast-3",
    "ca-central-1",
    "cn-north-1",
    "cn-northwest-1",
    "me-central-1 ",
    "eu-central-1",
    "eu-north-1",
    "eu-south-1",
    "eu-west-1",

  # Creates resources in the specified regions. The best practice is to enable multiregion modules in all enabled
  # regions in your AWS account. To get the list of regions enabled in your AWS account, you can use the AWS CLI: aws
  # ec2 describe-regions.
  opt_in_regions = [
    "ap-south-1",
    "eu-north-1",
    "eu-west-3",
    "eu-west-2",

hi,
if the region is not enabled requests will fail, in AWS documentation are described steps on how to enable regions
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande-manage.html

@denis256 you can close this, i found solution to add skip_region_validation

something like

  skip_validation_regions = [
    "me-central-1"
  ]

skip_region_validation      = ${contains(coalesce(local.skip_validation_regions, []), region) ? "true" : "false"}
