What triggers this finding
An S3 bucket storing at least 10 GB of data with no lifecycle rules configured to transition objects to cheaper storage tiers.
Typical fix
Add lifecycle rules to transition infrequently accessed objects to S3 Intelligent-Tiering or Glacier after 90 days. Paid plans include lifecycle configuration scripts with a replacement warning.
Example savings
Often 30–50% of standard storage cost for cold data — e.g. $5–$50+/month on buckets with tens or hundreds of GB.
