Thanks for replying. I don't see that change inside v4

git tag --contains 6129f329e60ccdcc69cae650f925172621807647

Let us know if there's a plan to update v4 to include that change.

Hi, I'm facing the same issue. It looks reverted on the following PR.
#871

Our environment are using sts:AssumeRole (without long-term credentials), but showing the warning.

[tim-finnigan]

Thanks for following up - just released 4.0.2 and pointed v4 to include latest changes, so the warning should now be removed: https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials/releases.

@tim-finnigan Hi, I checked the v4.0.2 that doesn't showing the warning when I use sts:AssumeRole (without IAM access key) on self-hosted runner.
