Why is SmartStore Download Upload Failing?

Hello everyone. We are experiencing download and a few upload failures from our Indexers to SmartStore in AWS S3.

Graph for the last 24 hours.

I previously increased the Cache Manager limits from the default of 8 to 128 with a custom server.conf:

[cachemanager]
max_concurrent_downloads = 128
max_concurrent_uploads = 128

An example of an upload faliure from the splunkd.log file (sourcetype=splunkd source="/opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log" component=CacheManager log_level=ERROR):

An example of a download failure:

We previously had an issue with NACLs in AWS where the S3 IP ranges had been updated but the NACLs were out of date. We have allowed access to all S3 IP ranges in our region.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can troubleshoot this so we can reduce, or eliminate the failures?

Anyone else had any experience with this?
