Note that with such lock mistakes can be costly. If you put into S3 several terabytes by mistake and set the compliance lock duration for 2 years, you will have to pay for that storage for 2 years.

So not even Amazon can fix this? What if my company goes bankrupt with several TB locked up?

If you close the account with Amazon, then yes, the data can be deleted. But typically based on contract this will require notifying Amazon and will be extremely visible and can be reverted.

If the company does not pay, then the company breaches its contract and Amazon can delete the data. But typically there would be a warning period.
