It happens when initializing it fails to upgrade or detect corrupt cached providers, or if you have changed the version but when you only run terraform init it finds the version in cache and decides to go with it. Delete the terraform directory and lock file, and then init again terraform init -upgrade

If you're on running it on Apple M1 chip, you might as well need to set this:

export GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1;

If you are using .terraformrc or have TF_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR set in your environment, consider cleaning the plugin cache directory.

> cat ~/.terraformrc
plugin_cache_dir   = "$HOME/.terraform.d/plugin-cache"

> rm -rf ~/.terraform.d/plugin-cache/*
