# Intermittent Task/Subagent failure: `400 The provided model identifier is invalid` (Bedrock)
## Summary
When running Claude Code with AWS Bedrock enabled, `Task` subagents fail intermittently (~2 runs out of 3) with a 400 error.
## Error
```text
API Error: 400 The provided model identifier is invalid
invalid model: us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0
subagent failed after 3 attempts
Expected
Subagents invoked via Task should reliably use the same provider/model configuration as the parent run, and should not fall back to an invalid default model identifier.

Note
I’m not explicitly selecting us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0 anywhere; it appears as a fallback/default during Task subagent execution.
Question
Will the Bedrock model/region configuration issue be fixed in the next release? It’s mentioned in several issues.
