data source alicloud_instance_types exports an invalid instance type

[QuantumGhost]

I have defined an instance type data source:

data "alicloud_instance_types" "ecs_4c8g" {
  cpu_core_count = 4
  memory_size = 8
  availability_zone = "cn-shenzhen-a"
  network_type = "Vpc"
}

and using it to creating new ECS instance: (irrelevant details removed)

resource "alicloud_instance" "server" {
  image_id = "ubuntu_16_0402_32_20G_alibase_20180409.vhd"
  instance_type = "${data.alicloud_instance_types.ecs_4c8g.instance_types.0.id}"
  instance_charge_type = "PrePaid"
  renewal_status = "AutoRenewal"
}

terraform plan works correctly and give the plan below: (irrelevant details removed)

An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions: 

  + module.aliyun.alicloud_instance.server
      id:                         <computed>
      auto_renew_period:          "1"
      availability_zone:          <computed>
      dry_run:                    "false"
      image_id:                   "ubuntu_16_0402_32_20G_alibase_20180409.vhd"
      instance_charge_type:       "PrePaid"
      instance_type:              "ecs.s3.large"
      internet_max_bandwidth_out: "0"
      key_name:                   <computed>
      period:                     "1"
      period_unit:                "Month"
      private_ip:                 <computed>
      public_ip:                  <computed>
      renewal_status:             "AutoRenewal"
      role_name:                  <computed>
      status:                     <computed>
      subnet_id:                  <computed>
      system_disk_category:       "cloud_efficiency"
      system_disk_size:           "40"

Plan: 3 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This plan was saved to: plans/create-ecs.plan

To perform exactly these actions, run the following command to apply:
    terraform apply "plans/create-ecs.plan"

Then terraform apply plans/create-ecs.plan gives error below: (irrelevant details removed)

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

According to the Docs,

NOTE: If one instance type is sold out, it will not be exported.

instance type ecs.s3.large should not be exported.

[QuantumGhost]

According to Chinese documentation here, Aliyun has stopped selling instance with type ecs.s3.large.
I think the data source should not return instance type which is not selling.

HI @QuantumGhost I am sorry for late reply. Can you show me the region used?

[QuantumGhost]

I do not remember it clearly. I guess it is cn-shenzhen since I have availability_zone = "cn-shenzhen-a" in my hcl file.

[xiaozhu36]

@QuantumGhost Thanks for your feedback. Just now, I have made a test and there is no ecs.s3.large exported in the cn-shenzhen-a.

[QuantumGhost]

Maybe this issue is fixed at the server side?
Anyway, thanks for your help.
