This could be due to the token being expired, deleted, or not correctly stored. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1) Ensure the token is not expired. If it is, generate a new one. 2) Check if the token was accidentally deleted. If so, create a new one. 3) Verify that the token is correctly stored and accessible by Elasticsearch. If not, adjust the storage settings or permissions.
