Is this related to another service?
S3
Describe the feature you'd like to request
Amplify CLI perform S3 actions to upload files such as current-cloud-backend while maintaining older unused assets in the S3 bucket, this incurs additional storage costs.
Additionally, Amplify performs recurrent s3 API calls when a resource has been updated, causing additional costs for the API calls. For example: when a small change has been performed on a lambda layer Amplify performs multiple API calls that replaces the existing layer while maintaining older version of the layer as well.
For users utilizing the free tier provided by AWS the usage of S3 for every update causes the limit to be reached very quickly.
Describe the solution you'd like
Remove unused assets from S3 bucket and reduce the number of S3 API calls needed to perform updates.
Describe alternatives you've considered
creating manual scripts that remove older assets

[ ] 👋 I may be able to implement this feature request
10873 does a better job of explaining the issues I'm having, but this seems to be the master task now. In a single day Amplify caused 4100 S3 reads and 750 writes over just a few builds.
