Invalid according to Policy: Policy expired.

See original GitHub issue

When I try to upload a document, I get this error from AWS: Invalid according to Policy: Policy expired.

Do you have any idea what this could be about? My server / computer time is correct. I also changed the x-amz-date to 20150323T160944Z (with time). No change.

For me, this issue is due to the inclusion of datejs (http://www.datejs.com). That library overrides Date.now(), which is used to create the expiration for the policy. The datajs version of this function does not return a timestamp, but instead returns an actual date object.

I overrode the implementation to behave as it should (i.e., return a timestamp) and my issue went away. This is not an issue with slingshot in my case.

I’m seeing this error too. there were no problem this morning, but started just one or two hours ago. I have no idea what caused this (I haven’t added any package today).

and in my case, expire: 25 * 60 * 1000 gave about 10 minutes. so it resolves the error. Found "expiration":"2016-09-05T06:34:10.713Z" in upload.instructions.postData my time zone is AEST(+10)

** I’m using edgee:slingshot@0.7.1
