ChainedTokenCredential: Filed to acquire a token

Hi team,

A few months ago, I noticed AzAPI authentication became very unstable, exhibiting intermittent behavior during the authentication process. The error occurs during the Terraform Plan phase. Lately, the failure ratio during authentication has increased significantly, reaching around 95%.

I'm currently using authentication based on a Service Principal
The issue occurs in any version greater than 1.11, including the new 1.13.1.

As a workaround, I downgraded the AzApi version to 1.11. It's now working flawlessly.

Hello @argonorth ,

Thank you for taking time to report this!

Which way are you using to authenticate with Azure? If you're not using the managed identity, you could turn it off by setting "use_msi = false" in the provider block. I'll keep investigating the root cause for this issue.

Hey @ms-henglu
I am currently using Service Principal and Client Secret authentication. When using version 1.13.1 and setting use-msi to false, I receive the following error.

provider "azapi" {
  use_msi = false
}

Would you please share the debug logs?

Here's how:

1. Add the following two environment variables:
   TF_LOG=DEBUG
   TF_LOG_PATH=./terraform.log
2. Run terraform plan command, the logs will be save to the terraform.log file.
