Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "log_bucket" {
  bucket        = "${var.name_prefix}-${local.account_id}-logs"
  force_destroy = true
}

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "s3_audit_log_allow_access" {
  # ...
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket_policy" "audit_log_allow_access" {
  bucket = aws_s3_bucket.log_bucket.id
  policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.s3_audit_log_allow_access.json
}

Steps to Reproduce

On a fresh account, run the above terraform script. The script intermittently fails with above error. Adding a sleep between S3 creation and Policy creation sometimes helps.
