Answer 1

make sure you're using same profile name which usually exists at ~/.aws directory, if you did state locking with s3 and dynamodb make sure the profile configured in it (e.g: backend.tf) is the same as the profile name configured in your main.tf or providers.tf.

Lastly if nothing worked for you, try to change the profile name to default and just remove the profile definition from your terraform configuration.
