How did you create the Fleet service token? Did you use the CLI? Service token created with the CLI is local to the node where the CLI runs. See doc [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/service-tokens-command.html#_description_9). We recommend using the [CreateServiceAccountToken API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/security-api-create-service-token.html) to create service tokens which are usable on all nodes within a cluster.
