updated: user error. I did not actually restore all the files. It was working as it should and only failing on the images that weren't actually restored. Sorry.
I have copied files up to S3 with rclone using a standard storage. And using s3's lifecycles rules I have pushed images into Glacier. Using the AWS console online I initiated a restore of 3 folders of images:
Events/01/674/001/HiRes
Events/01/674/001/Previews
Events/01/674/001/Thumbs
And when I check the object in the console it says "Restoration Complete, expires Aug 11 2021"
But when I try to copy them using rclone I get this message: 2021-07-14 15:22:23 ERROR : Thumbs/1180nr_190728_674_001_0597.jpg: Failed to copy: failed to open source object: Object in GLACIER, restore first: Events/01/674/001/Thumbs/1180nr_190728_674_001_0597.jpg

There are thousands of images in the folder so I am just posting a snippet of my attempt of copying the first handful of images.

Well... I will admit where I screwed up. I'm sorry to waste your time.
The copy WAS working. I just didn't successfully restore all the files.
Sorry everybody.
The worst part was. I guess when I ran rclone the first time I didn't see that they were successful. So after when I was troubleshooting it would skip the successful ones and the only fail on the dead ones. So I never thought to check for the successful transfer.
