message: "53669: Access denied to external S3 bucket configured in composition settings"

## Description

Failed to upload media to the external S3 bucket configured in your account's composition settings.

Media composition has been marked as FAILED and will not be retried.

### Possible Causes

- If you have specified your own bucket and access credentials, this is most likely due to the fact that the configuration is out of date.

### Possible Solutions

- In the composition settings section of your account's console, review the credentials for accessing your S3 bucket or disable the external storage (media will be uploaded to the default bucket).
