Answer

Hello,

It is not possible to copy an S3 object direct from glacier without first restoring the object.
It is likely that the object has either not been restored or still-yet-to-complete restore from glacier hence the copy error.

Upon successful restore, the temporary object can be accessed or copied (using aws s3 cp / aws s3 sync and similar)
While there temporary restore object is available, the object will still show it is in Glacier storage class but you can copy it prior to the temporary object expiry.

See "How can I restore an Amazon S3 object from the S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class using the AWS CLI?"
