Why am I getting 'ArgumentError: argument --timeout: conflicting option string: --timeout' when launching a job template using the automation controller cli?

Issue

I am receiving the following error message when when launching a job template using the automation controller cli:

$ awx -k --conf.host "$AAP_URL" --conf.username="$AAP_USER" --conf.password="$AAP_PASSWORD" job_templates launch $AAP_TEMPLATE_ID

    conflict_handler(action, confl_optionals)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.8/argparse.py", line 1548, in _handle_conflict_error
    raise ArgumentError(action, message % conflict_string)
