Rollback Plan

If a change needs to be reverted, we will publish an updated version of the library.

Changes to Security Controls

No changes to security controls.

Description

We cap the retry wait time for AccessDeniedException inside aws_sfn_state_machine creation to a maximum of 2 minutes. Previously, it would catch an AccessDeniedException (often thrown when CloudWatch Logs permissions are absent) and retry endlessly up to the full resource timeout (e.g., 5-30 minutes). Now, it safely waits up to 2 minutes for IAM eventual consistency propagation without hanging indefinitely for entirely missing permissions.
