DynamoDB regularly recieve error: "The AWS Access Key Id needs a subscription for the service"

Question

I am running into a strange issue with aws's dynamoDB.

Regularly the dynamoDB aws UI and API calls return the following error:

The AWS Access Key Id needs a subscription for the service

I have a feeling that it's an aws related issue since it happens in the UI and only about 1 in 10 api calls fail with the message. Any suggested solutions would be appreciated.

API Error:

An uncaught Exception was encountered

Type: Aws\DynamoDb\Exception\DynamoDbException

Message: Error executing "PutItem" on "https://dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"; AWS HTTP error: Client error: `POST https://dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response: {"__type":"com.amazon.coral.service#SubscriptionRequiredException","message":"The AWS Access Key Id needs a subscription (truncated...)

After some research, I believe the "The AWS Access Key Id needs a subscription for the service" error is caused by old accounts created when you had to opt in to each individual service.

See this forum post, forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=609804, for more info.

After creating a completely new AWS account I haven't received the error once, still waiting to see if it can be resolved in my older account.
