Most likely you have AAA authorisation enabled. The AAA system is refusing authorization which produces the "Authorization failed" error.
My guess - you have a number of AAA servers configured. One of them is denying you access, and another is allowing you access. Hence repeating the command enough times eventually gets you onto the server to permit access.

To view your AAA config use something like:
show running | inc aaa
That will show if you are using TACAS, RADIUS, or local. From there you need to examine the specific methods config.

yeah it's obviously a problem with tacacs/radius authentication, I used to face same problem when i change the router name and forget to regenerate the crypto key.
example ;
crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
