1. Since this issue was opened on Jun 9, 2021, we have had two major rounds of fixes ([Tracking Issue] Order is lost in JSON/policies when applied #21968, Perpetual diffs / Objects have changed outside of Terraform (v3.70.0+) #23288 and iam: Improve policy diff handling #28836 et al.) that seem to have improved and/or eliminated changed reports being shown wrongly
2. In order to alert maintainers and the community to what is still not working, open a new issue with a title similar to [Bug]: ec2/instance objects have changed outside of Terraform. Check to make sure one doesn't already exist for the resource you are working on.

Terraform CLI and Terraform AWS Provider Version

terraform version: 1.0.0
aws provider version: 3.44.0

Affected Resource(s)

Related to jsonencode list items ordering

• aws_s3_bucket_policy
• aws_iam_role

Related to latest_restorable_time attribute with drifts

• aws_db_instance

and more

Expected Behavior

No change was made outside of terraform so these should not be visible there as well

Actual Behavior

Terraform thinks that something was changed outside terraform (which is not the case)
