Serverless Framework

I have been struggling with deploying this serverless lambda as it keeps failing in circleci with the below error:

× Uncaught exception
Environment: linux, node 14.20.0, framework 3.24.0 (local), plugin 6.2.2, SDK 4.3.2
Credentials: Local, environment variables
Docs:        docs.serverless.com
Support:     forum.serverless.com
Bugs:        github.com/serverless/serverless/issues

Error:
The security token included in the request is invalid.

2 deprecations found: run 'serverless doctor' for more details
make: *** [provision] Error 1

Exited with code exit status 2
CircleCI received exit code 2

and i am not sure what token circleci is passing during the request.
I am running the below commands for the deployment on my makefile

	serverless config credentials --provider aws --key ${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID} --secret ${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}
	sls remove --verbose
	serverless deploy --aws-s3-accelerate --stage ci${CIRCLE_BUILD_NUM} --verbose

and below is my yaml file config:

service: enterprise-tools

  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs14.x
  role: ${env:AWS_ROLE}
