Thank you for bringing this up to our attention. It seems that there is a discrepancy in the official AWS documentation. The following AWS references show that the usable capacity is 83 TB:

The following shows that the usable capacity is only 80 TB. It is possible that AWS has recently made a change:

I have raised a pull-request to the official AWS documentation for this issue. Let’s just wait for what they have to say:
