Hi, AFAIK, if you place aws_signing_helper command in aws config file as described on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rolesanywhere/latest/userguide/credential-helper.html in section "Example Use temporary security credentials with AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI", the aws CLI will take care for you of credentials renewal when needed (timestamp "Expiration" close to be reached.

It is described in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-sourcing-external.html

The Expiration key is an ISO8601 formatted timestamp. If the Expiration key is not present 
in the tool's output, the CLI assumes that the credentials are long-term credentials that do 
not refresh. Otherwise the credentials are considered temporary credentials and are 
refreshed automatically by rerunning the credential_process command before they expire.
