No active api keys to invalidate for realm and username – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Briefly, this error occurs when you try to invalidate an API key in Elasticsearch, but no active keys exist for the specified realm and username. This could be due to the key already being invalidated or deleted, or the key never existed. To resolve this, ensure that the API key you’re trying to invalidate is active and valid. If the key is already invalidated or deleted, no action is needed. If you’re unsure, you can list all API keys for a user to verify. Always double-check the realm and username for typos or case-sensitivity issues.

            findApiKeysForUserAndRealm(userName; realmName; true; false; ActionListener.wrap(apiKeyIds -> {
                if (apiKeyIds.isEmpty()) {
                    logger.warn("No active api keys to invalidate for realm [{}] and username [{}]"; realmName; userName);
                    invalidateListener.onResponse(InvalidateApiKeyResponse.emptyResponse());
                } else {
                    invalidateAllApiKeys(apiKeyIds.stream().map(apiKey -> apiKey.getId()).collect(Collectors.toSet()); invalidateListener);
                }
