What they mean and how to fix them.

The bucket lives in a different region than the endpoint.

Select the bucket's region, or leave the endpoint empty.

AuthorizationHeaderMalformed

Requests are signed for the wrong region.

Match the connection region to the bucket.

RequestTimeTooSkewed

Turn on Set time automatically in macOS settings.

AccessDenied

IAM policy, bucket policy, Block Public Access, or a KMS key blocks the call.

Check s3:ListBucket, s3:GetObject, and kms:Decrypt for the key.
