Describe the issue
The create-invalidation-for-distribution-tenant example wraps the JSON payload in single quotes:
--invalidation-batch '{"Paths": {"Quantity": 1, "Items": ["/*"]}, "CallerReference": "invalidation-$(date +%s)"}'
Single quotes prevent $(date +%s) from expanding in any POSIX shell, so CallerReference is always the literal string invalidation-$(date +%s), confirmed by the example's own output, which echoes it back unexpanded.
Since CloudFront treats a repeated CallerReference with identical request as a duplicate and just returns the original invalidation instead of creating a new one, copying this example and running it more than once will silently do nothing on the 2nd+ run.
