Lambda@Edge - You cannot update the specified distribution using this API version because it is associated with a cache policy

Question

I am trying to setup Lambda@Edge but getting the following error on clicking Deploy to Lambda@Edge button.

You cannot update the specified distribution using this API version because it is associated with a cache policy.

My CloudFront distribution is already ready and is in Deployed state.

Can someone please help me with this issue?

AWS is amazing sometimes. Is there seriously no way to solve this that does no rely on going back to using LEGACY settings? — csvan, Dec 16 '20 at 06:29

I was able to solve this by switching to 'Legacy cache settings'. I got the lead from this link: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=950582

Had this error :

You cannot update the specified distribution using this API version because it is associated with a cache policy. 
(Service: AmazonCloudFront; Status Code: 400; 
Error Code: IllegalUpdate;
 Request ID: xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-49c2-b15e-6xxxxxxxxx; Proxy: null)

To solve :

I had cached policy already at 'Legacy cache settings'
Switched it back to managed optimised cache policy
Switched again to 'Legacy cache settings'

After this, error was gone.

Had same error trying to make some changes with terraform, you need to follow this steps to solve it:

Go to Cloudfront on the AWS console.
Choose your Cloudfront distribution.
Click on the Behaviours and choose edit on your origin.
On Cache and origin request settings choose Use legacy cache settings
Now you can customise the cache TTL values (Recommended: Minimum TTL: 0. Maximum TTL: 31536000, Default TTL: 86400).
