Answer

Dear Jady,
Thankyou for your response, below is peace of code i am using
I am not using ec2 instance, even not created, using dotnet core application on laptop and accessing Textract sdk
var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder() 
.SetBasePath(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
				.AddEnvironmentVariables()
				.Build();
var awsOptions = builder.GetAWSOptions();
			Console.WriteLine(awsOptions.Profile + ":" + awsOptions.ProfilesLocation + ": " + awsOptions.Region.DisplayName);

IAmazonTextract textract =awsOptions.CreateServiceClient();
  var request = new StartDocumentTextDetectionRequest();
            request.DocumentLocation = new DocumentLocation
            {   S3Object = new S3Object
			{  Bucket =  "testautomatelab",       
                            Name = "test-files/employmentapp.png"                }
            };
            var response =  textract.StartDocumentTextDetectionAsync(request);
}

Response Inner exception

Answer

Hi,

To better understand your issue, could you please 
1. How did your code get the necessary permission? if you use AWS SDK could you please provide the code block.

2. As it was working before, could you please verify your EC2 instance is healthy and has correct IAM attached, if possible, could you please try to relaunch a new instance and deploy the code to see if it works on new instance.

Thanks
