An S3 presigned URL grants nothing more than the signer has at the moment it is used

A presigned URL is a signature over a request, not a stored capability. S3 evaluates the signer's identity policy, the bucket policy, and any applicable SCP or RCP when the URL is redeemed, so revoking the signer's permission or adding an explicit Deny invalidates every outstanding URL immediately. Conversely, an SDK will happily sign a URL for an object the signer cannot read; the AccessDenied arrives only when someone opens it.
The other half is header binding. Every header and query parameter included in the signed request must be sent verbatim by the client. Signing a PUT with a ContentType and then uploading with a different Content-Type fails with SignatureDoesNotMatch. Browsers set Content-Type automatically when you fetch with a Blob or FormData, which is the single most common cause of this error in upload flows.
Either sign the exact content type the client will send, or omit it from the signed request and do not send it.
