Allow delete of snapshot_export_bucket (API limitation)

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

We need to clean up our Atlas deployments by removing all resources. It is not possible to delete a snapshot_export_bucket in declarative tools like Terraform due to a race condition with the backup schedule not being deleted (a dependency remains and fails the delete operation)


What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

It should be possible to delete the snapshot_export_bucket without a failure/retry loop

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

This breaks down the ability to automate the deployment of Atlas as they cannot be easily cleaned up

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

fail -> retry loops are required to successfully clean up a deployment
