Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_db_instance" "main" {

  delete_automated_backups = false
  // Additional config...
}

I think aws sdk for go does not support this feature yet.

After looking at https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/f26268b77ea9619d95b1d04b6f3e3c5a03b61110/service/rds/api.go, I agree! We'll have to wait for that to be rolled out, then.

Support for this functionality has been merged and will release with version 2.49.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, Thursday this week. Thanks to @MrLunar for the implementation. 👍
