"s3-object-lambda:PutObjectRetention"
I saw those in the IAM changelogs. Sounds dangerous ;-)

Thanks @shotty1 ! Added.

glacier:*VaultLock

Thanks @tdmalone, added!

@tdmalone FYI you can't use that with an SCP, you can only have wildcards at the END of a SCP. I tried similar with *ReservedInstance* and it does not work.

Note
In an SCP, the wildcard characters (*) and (?) in an Action or NotAction element can be used only by itself
or at the end of the string. It can't appear at the beginning or middle of the string. Therefore,
"servicename:action*" is valid, but "servicename:*action" and "servicename:some*action" are both invalid in SCPs.

Provisioned Throughput pricing
An application developer, buys one model unit of Anthropic Claude Instant with 1-month commitment for their text summarization use case.
Total monthly cost incurred is 1 model unit * $39.60 * 24 hours * 31 days = $29,462.40
