rclone S3 Connection Fails with SignatureDoesNotMatch Error (Status 403)

Description: When attempting to list the contents of an S3 bucket (configured as sdd:) using rclone in a RunPod container environment, I encounter the following error:

Expected Outcome: To be able to access the S3 bucket normally using rclone.

Are you certain you're using the right credentials to access the s3 api? http://docs.runpod.io/serverless/storage/s3-api

I tried to use the red section as you mentioned. I created a s3-api and go to secrets tab to get the id. but it failed too D: here is my config: [runpod] type = s3 provider = Other access_key_id = user_2xxxxxxxxxxx secret_access_key = rps_Cxsdsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxvvmt region = EU-RO-1 endpoint = https://s3api-eu-ro-1.runpod.io

I've followed this document to create s3 api key but it showed error message like: 2025/06/13 16:56:19 ERROR : : error listing: operation error S3: ListBuckets, https response error StatusCode: 403, RequestID: , HostID: , api error SignatureDoesNotMatch: Unable to authenticate request: signature does not match any shared API key for specified user ID 2025/06/13 16:56:19 NOTICE: Failed to lsd with 2 errors: last error was: operation error S3: ListBuckets, https response error StatusCode: 403, RequestID: , HostID: , api error SignatureDoesNotMatch: Unable to authenticate request: signature does not match any shared API key for specified user ID

When I create a config through rclone config, there is no bucket id option. How do you set the bucket id?
