Debug Output

aws_db_instance.anonymizer-database: Destroying... (ID: db-anonymizer)
aws_db_instance.anonymizer-database: Still destroying... (ID: db-anonymizer, 10s elapsed)
...
aws_db_instance.anonymizer-database: Still destroying... (ID: db-anonymizer, 20m0s elapsed)
Error applying plan:
1 error(s) occurred:
* aws_db_instance.anonymizer-database (destroy): 1 error(s) occurred:
* aws_db_instance.anonymizer-database: timeout while waiting for resource to be gone (last state: 'deleting', timeout: 20m0s)

Expected Behavior

aws_db_instance resource destruction should have waited 45 minutes before failing the terraform destroy run due to explicit timeout settings in the aws_db_instance.

Actual Behavior

aws_db_instancedestruction failed after a 20 minute timeout.

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:
terraform destroy -target="aws_db_instance.anonymizer-database" -input=false -refresh=true -force

Thanks @mattzimmerman I'll look into this. It may be related / fixed with #14396

This was finally addressed in hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#949, thanks!

Is this issue fixed? I have noticed the same error while destroying the oracle rds instance. the timeout was set for 4hrs for create/delete/update however the rds instance deletion timed out at 2hrs time..
