CircleCI run failed on delete k8s resource - kubernetes

Question

I have CircleCI setup and running fine normally, it will helps with creating deployment for me. Today I have suddenly had an issue with the step in creating the deployment due to an error related to kubernetes.
I have the config.yml followed the doc from https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/circleci/kubernetes
Here is my version of setup in the config file:
version: 2.1
orbs:
kube-orb: circleci/kubernetes#1.3.0
commands:
docker-check:
steps:
- docker/check:
docker-username: MY_USERNAME
docker-password: MY_PASS
registry: $DOCKER_REGISTRY
jobs:
create-deployment:
executor: aws-eks/python3
parameters:
cluster-name:
description: Name of the EKS cluster
type: string
steps:
- checkout
# It failed on this step
- kube-orb/delete-resource:
now: true
resource-names: my-frontend-deployment
resource-types: deployments
wait: true
Below is a copy of the error log

set +x
fi
error: exec plugin: invalid apiVersion "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1"
Exited with code exit status 1
CircleCI received exit code 1
Does anyone have idea what is wrong with it? Im not sure whether the issue is happening on Circle CI side or Kubernetes side.

I was facing the exact issue since yesterday morning (16 hours ago). Then taking #Gavy's advice, I simply added this in my config.yml:
steps:
- checkout
# !!! HERE !!!
- kubernetes/install-kubectl:
kubectl-version: v1.23.5
- run:
And now it works. Hope it helps.
