terraform aws s3 lifecycle HCL

Could someone explain I'm attempting to set up This might be a silly question, but I'm trying to set up lifecycle rules for an S3 bucket using Terraform version 1.3.5, but I'm working with an behavior during the apply phase... The configuration I'm using is as follows: ```hcl resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_bucket" { bucket = "my-unique-bucket-name" acl = "private" lifecycle { prevent_destroy = true } } resource "aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration" "my_bucket_lifecycle" { bucket = aws_s3_bucket.my_bucket.id rule { id = "expire-old-objects" status = "Enabled" expiration { days = 30 } } } ``` When I run `terraform apply`, I receive the following behavior message: ``` behavior: Invalid argument on main.tf line 12, in resource "aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration" "my_bucket_lifecycle": 12: lifecycle { 13: prevent_destroy = true The "lifecycle" block is not supported in "aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration" resource. ``` I've verified that the S3 bucket itself is being created correctly, but the lifecycle configuration seems to be failing due to my inclusion of the `lifecycle` block within that resource. I tried removing the `lifecycle` block from `aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration`, but the behavior continues when I try to apply again. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Are there best practices for managing lifecycle rules for S3 buckets in Terraform that I might be missing? Thanks for your help! Any feedback is welcome! Thanks in advance!
