Two things to check.

Are you reaching out to a storage bucket that holds your state, if so are you passing in the correct bucket and prefix fields?

Did you previously run through an apply step with that same state and have to terminate the operation early? If so there may be a default.tflock in the same prefix folder as the default.tfstate file. You can manually go into your storage bucket and delete the .tflock file or follow these steps.

Generally this happens if your host is out of cpu or memory. Check if any of them is at limit other thing could be if you have a lot of ssh connection that can also cause this.
