Guys, I am trying to take a snapshot of all my indexes in an S3 repository, I already checked the credentials and so on at the time of creating it and there was no problem, the problem occurs at the time of taking the snapshot.

```auto
PUT _snapshot/s3_bucket/snapshot12052023?wait_for_completion=false
{
  "indices": "_all",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": false
}

```

When I run it I get this

```auto
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "repository_exception",
        "reason" : "[s3_bucket] Unexpected exception when loading repository data"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "repository_exception",
    "reason" : "[s3_bucket] Unexpected exception when loading repository data",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
      "reason" : "the version needs to contain major, minor, and revision, and optionally the build: 8100299"
    }
  },
  "status" : 500
}

```

I've tried searching through different forums and haven't found anything about it, any idea?

This is the known issue described in the [release notes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/release-notes-8.10.2.html).
