From my experience setting up the servers on AWS, there are 2 things that cause this error message to be returned.

  1. The current cloud formation template has a bug, maybe, that doesn't add the DB password to the environment variables for the container images. Adding it manually and re-deploying fixes the issue.
  2. The phone number you will be using for the business account, added on WhatsApp manager, needs to be registered with your instance with WhatsApp servers.

This usually means your waweb is running but your wacore container is not running or you somehow restart the wacore container.

You could run 

docker ps -a

To find out the wacore container And run

Docker logs containerid

to see the logs , if you could grab the logs I could see why wacore is down for you

shutdown and restart normally will help 

docker-compose down 
 docker-compose up -d
