Reason for AADSTS900561 Sign in Error

The most common reason for this issue is you might have multiple sessions on various tabs on your browser and you logged out and logged into some other account causing an invalid token issue.

Or, somehow the browser has sent an HTTP GET with an invalid query, instead of an HTTP POST as required by the server. It could be a page refresh that might have caused it.
