Is it normal to get intermittent `unable to validate AWS credentials` errors? I seem to get them from time to time on S3 buckets. Simply retrying the `pulumi up` another time tends to get around it. Any possible cause?

Are you changing the bucket policy at the same time? I can't think of another reason..

Oddly enough, no. No changes to the bucket itself :shrug: This is me just re-running the same thing right after it failed.

If this isn't normal, I'll just keep an eye on it and see if I can provide more info:+1:

One command is an up and one is a preview, preview doesn’t necessarily surface errors, I wonder if it’s just bad timing with your creds timing out? Or are you using a static access key and secret?

I'm using a static key and secret. I haven't run into this since, though :shrug:

It appears this is some sort of uncaught failure when something is misconfigured in the stack. Ran across this again when modifying an unrelated aws.codebuild.Project's buildSpec in the same stack.
