BackupStorageLocation is invalid, marking as unavailable

What steps did you take and what happened:
Was using installation steps to deploy the Velero. Created Azure Storage resources and its permission followed workload identity method to create resource. It gave following error

I created backup resource with following command

velero backup-location create default --provider=azure --bucket=azwexxxvelero --config storageAccount=azwexxxveleroacc,resourceGroup=azweyyy-rg,subscriptionId=id,storageAccountKeyEnvVar=key --default

Post above command it gave following error:

What did you expect to happen:

Expect the backup location is enabled to create backup of my K8s cluster.

I fixed it myself. I recreated the secret it worked.

@Veeraraghavans Could you clarify if you meant you recreated a Kubernetes secret?
