Hello mddreeves,
Thank you for the feedback.
The Glacier Instant Retrieval option is not the most cost-effective choice due to its minimum storage duration of 90 days. Since the data is only needed for a 72-hour job each month, it may be deleted or overwritten afterward. However, you would still incur charges for the full 90 days, even if you only use the data for 30 days. This can result in significantly higher cumulative costs, especially at a scale of 200 TB.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you need further assistance.
