It's worse than that. You can't rename a bucket. You will have to create a new bucket and copy everything over.

It’s not a huge problem thanks to S3 batch

I hadn't noticed/heard of this new feature.

Hmm, I was going to say something about the _cost_ of getting/putting a large number of objects in order to 'move' them to a new bucket. Does the batch feature affect the pricing, or only the convenience?

In some cases cross-region replication may help too.

Sadly neither batch operations nor replication is free.

How so? cross-region replication doesn't replicate existing objects, only new ones.
