Retrieval times get tricky with Glacier though.

I’d hate to be working on a story, especially with a deadline (if he has those), and be forced to wait on Glacier to retrieve a file.

Hope it’s the one you need on the first try too…

There's various glacier tiers. Something like Glacier Flexible has retrieval times in minutes, while still having a per-GB cost that is 6x cheaper than regular S3.
