An explicit Deny statement in an IAM policy is overriding an Allow for s3:ListBucket on the 'data/*' prefix, causing an implicit deny that silently blocks legitimate access.
Lambda Resource-Based Policy Condition Auditor
A Lambda resource-based policy using Principal '*' with a StringEquals aws:PrincipalAccount condition silently fails because the wildcard principal bypasses IAM evaluation, causing AccessDenied even for legitimate same-account callers.

An aws:PrincipalOrgID condition mismatch in a Secrets Manager resource policy silently blocks GetSecretValue, causing AccessDenied even for legitimately permissioned IAM principals.
EC2 Instance Profile Cross-Region Attacher

IAM Role DurationSeconds Session Monitor
An IAM role session request exceeds the configured MaxSessionDuration, blocking federated access, CI/CD pipelines, and long-running workloads that depend on extended credentials.
