This is not a "Transition cost", because it is not a transition lifecycle policy, rather an expiration lifecycle policy. "Minimum storage duration charge" along with "Minimum capacity charge per object" is a property of an S3 Storage Class, not a lifecycle policy. Therefore this cost needs to be considered before selecting a storage class. The charges for deleting before the minimum storage duration are documented for each storage class at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/storage-class-intro.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/storag... Refer to the "Performance across the S3 Storage Classes" table at https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/
