Any update on this?
I'm having similar issues,

The log from the metrics-server

On the node we are able to see that it's listening on port 10250, and was also able to establish connection to the prometheus operator pods

sh-4.2$ netstat -a | grep 10250
tcp6       0      0 [::]:10250              [::]:*                  LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 ip-172-31-34-243.:10250 ip-172-31-84-140.:59798 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 ip-172-31-34-243.:10250 ip-172-31-46-100.:39802 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 ip-172-31-34-243.:10250 ip-172-31-46-100.:44384 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 ip-172-31-34-243.:10250 ip-172-31-46-100.:39806 ESTABLISHED

This is a very strange behavior as we have not changed any config and started getting this issue out of no where

It seems that there is a PR in the works, but has anyone derived a work around for this issue?

[NahumLitvin]

i am having the same issue

[dcherniv]

Check if the CSR for the node is signed.
Ran into something similar recently awslabs/amazon-eks-ami#1944

[tgelter]

Our fleet is experiencing this issue also. Would additional logs or anything else be helpful to resolve this?

[luarx]

Having the same issue, looking forward for a fix 🙏

[Wicaeed]

Same, metrics-server logs just full of this error.
