Answer: The IAM policy that is attached to the IAM role for the flow log is missing the logs:CreateLogGroup permission.
When publishing VPC flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, the IAM role associated with the flow log must have permissions to publish data to the specified log group. If the log group doesn't exist, it needs the `logs:CreateLogGroup` permission to create it, along with `logs:CreateLogStream` and `logs:PutLogEvents`.
