Wow. I can’t believe Glacier is on that list.
Does not be accessible to new customers mean a new test account that rolls into the same parent org would no longer have access either?

It's the standalone Glacier service which I wasn't even aware existed - nothing changes for the s3 glacier storage class.
That original Glacier API was infamous for being extremely cheap to write to but prohibitively expensive to read from. Something like 10 cents per list objects request or something ridiculous like that. Can't remember the specifics but I do remember reading blog posts from people that wanted to restore a couple files and had to pay several thousand dollars for that.
I believe that they did alter the pricing at some point. Regardless, the move to just a storage class on S3 made everything much simpler.
