Reason for failure (if possible)

Failed to run clusterctl move
Expected success, but got an error:
<...>
failed to get API group resources: unable to retrieve the complete list of server APIs....

Anything else we need to know?

These seem to me to be separate from #11162, which is an issue with machinepools. But I could be wrong.

A suggestion was made on slack to close this if it's really only affecting 1.8 and older. Which I'd be ok with.
