Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch fails to invalidate security tokens after multiple attempts. This could be due to network issues, high load on the Elasticsearch cluster, or issues with the security token service. To resolve this, you can try restarting the Elasticsearch cluster, ensuring the network connectivity is stable, or increasing the system resources if the cluster is under high load. Additionally, check the configuration of the security token service for any inconsistencies.

srcPrefix; incompleteResult; listener); backoff.next(); GENERIC);
} else {
if (retryTokenDocIds.isEmpty() == false) {
logger.warn("failed to invalidate [{}] tokens out of [{}] after all retries"; retryTokenDocIds.size();
tokenIds.size());
for (String retryTokenDocId : retryTokenDocIds) {
failedRequestResponses.add(
new ElasticsearchException("Error invalidating [{}] with doc id [{}] after retries exhausted";
srcPrefix; retryTokenDocId));
