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.

When an Atlas project configures backup snapshot exports to S3 via the Backup API and manages those settings through Terraform (and other IaC tools), attempts to delete the configuration via the API can fail with a 400 Bad Request because the export bucket remains referenced by auto export settings even after a successful DELETE of the backup schedule. The current API contract for the backup schedule only deletes snapshot schedule policies and does not reset copySettings or autoExportSettings,

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

Provide API support to clean up auto export.

Why is this important to you or your team?

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

This leads to inconsistent behavior for API consumers and forces a manual workaround in automation tools (i.e. retry logic, 2 step processes, etc).

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