It could be related to your template = "${file("..\..\..\Files\user_data.txt")}". I wonder if it would be fine with template = "${file("${path.module}/../../../Files\user_data.txt")}".

[jbanmene]

all my module calls the userdata that way,
It is a windows machine

I think I find the root cause, I change the provider version from 1.46. to 1.4.0 and my code works
maybe someone from terraform could confirm that aws provider 1.46 have issues

[jbanmene]

well it's not the provider version either, the crash is because of the credit_specification , I launch a T3 instance and I didn't set the value for cpu_credit.

Hi @jbanmene are you still having issues here? There's been a number of changes to the aws_instance resource since this issue was reported. If you are still having issues would you mind testing with the latest provider release.

If your issue has been resolved please close this issue; adding any relevant information as a comment.

Cheers!

This has been released in version 2.16.0 of the Terraform AWS provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading.
