Description
In case this message is shown, you'll have the option to Flush permalinks. But there is no information why one should do so and what to expect. I'd like to add some info there like
"You can try..." or "If this doesn't help you may need to contact your hosting provider" etc.
Here's a related ticket that well describes the situation: #52487

In response to the copy review requested in dev chat. Thanks @Clorith. The revised text is clearer. Do we have an Authorization Header in the glossary which could be linked for those users less familiar with it who are receiving this error message?

I don't think we have one like that, @webcommsat.
I'm thinking the use case here is with Application Passwords, so perhaps we could look into getting a HelpHub article about that area of WordPress, which could be linked to?
(I had a look at the Glossary page, and that's too much information in one page to send a potential non-technical user to in my opinion, if that's the page you were referencing)
I don't know how feasible it would be to get a new HelpHub article up before beta, but adding an action button as a followup to this ticket is also an approach we could easily take, to help move things along :)

Good shout out!
I am thinking this entire response could probably be improved a little, perhaps something along these lines:
The second paragraph about contacting your host would only be shown if the header is missing, while the first paragraph is a slight re-wording of the existing text to make it a bit clearer
