InternalFailure: An internal error has occurred. Please try your query again at a later time.

I am receiving an error when using the SwitchoverGlobalClusterCommand to try and switchover my global rds cluster.

Here is the code I am using

import {
  RDSClient,
  SwitchoverGlobalClusterCommand,
} from '@aws-sdk/client-rds';

....

     const rdsClient = new RDSClient({ });
      const input = {
        GlobalClusterIdentifier: globalClusterIdentifier,
        TargetDbClusterIdentifier: targetClusterArn, // Use the ARN of the cluster to promote
      };
      const command = new SwitchoverGlobalClusterCommand(input);
      await rdsClient.send(command);

Here is the error I am receiving.

  ]
}

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Hi @lbecker34 - thanks for reaching out.

Which SDK version are you using? I'm not able to reproduce it on v3.682.0 using same input params as you.
