Terraform azure provider gave me "features required field not set"

Question

This code gave me error, even with the feature block.

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.12" 
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "=2.46.0"
    }
  }
  
}

provider "azurerm" {
  tenant_id       = "xxxxx"
  subscription_id = "xxxxx"
  client_id       = "xxxxx"
  client_secret   = "xxxxx"
  alias           = "prod"
  features {}
}

What's wrong??? For azurerm version 2.0, I know features block is needed but I tried several times the error always comes up.

I just hit this today and when I removed alias field and it worked! Related to this bug: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/26312#issuecomment-801468683
