AWS S3 REST API “RequestTimeTooSkewed” Error

I am attempting to initiate a multipart upload to an s3 bucket directly from the browser by following the corresponding AWS Docs. However, I’m receiving the following response error:

<Error>
   <Code>RequestTimeTooSkewed</Code>
   <Message>The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.</Message>
   <RequestTime>20210105T044520315Z</RequestTime>
   <ServerTime>2021-01-05T04:45:21Z</ServerTime>
   <MaxAllowedSkewMilliseconds>900000</MaxAllowedSkewMilliseconds>
   <RequestId>1CB4A7412B51D</RequestId>
   <HostId>Hb2KatQA+Liv8lfWLW73dRyPUyCjJez/qwelRyV52r8cd2qXR5dBSpPY=</HostId>
</Error>

Am I mistaken or are these times in fact within the 9000 millisecond skew cap in which AWS deems a request time valid?

After console logging the times for better analysis – I can in-fact confirm the discrepancy between client and server times are less than 9000 milliseconds.

**AWS server time** 2021-01-05T04:45:21.000Z

**Client server time** 2021-01-05T04:45:20.544Z

Am I missing something trivial?

Answer

Based on the comments.

The issue was due to RequestTime not being in ISO 8601 format, since the format does not use miliseconds. The aws docs also write:

Do not include milliseconds in the time stamp.
