S3 life cycle policy - move to SIA only if size bigger than 128KB

Usecase description:
I'm planning to set a life cycle policiy to move objects from frequent access to infrequent access automatically after 30 days. but in the bucket, there are some small files that are less than 128KB and I don't want to switch their tiring because of the following limitation in Standard - IA:

"Standard - IA is designed for larger objects and has a minimum object size of 128KB. Objects smaller than 128KB in size will incur storage charges as if the object were 128KB. For example, a 6KB object in S3 Standard - IA will incur S3 Standard - IA storage charges for 6KB and an additional minimum object size fee equivalent to 122KB at the S3 Standard - IA storage price. Please see the Amazon S3 pricing page for information about Standard - IA pricing."

most of the data in the bucket are logs files and are automatically generated by different services and published to s3 for storing them(can't do a lot of work on app side that put the files in the bucket).

Question:
Is it possible to set a life cycle policy that applies to all objects in the bucket to move the bucket objects after 30 days to standard infrequent access tier if the object size is less than 128KB? and if not possible any recommendations or way around this limitation to not transfer these files?

Don't worry, by default AWS S3 lifecycle policies do not move objects smaller than 128 kilobytes to S3 IA

Objects smaller than 128 KB – For the following transitions, Amazon S3 does not transition objects that are smaller than 128 KB:

From the S3 Standard or S3 Standard-IA storage classes to S3 Intelligent-Tiering or S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval.

From the S3 Standard storage class to S3 Standard-IA or S3 One Zone-IA.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

EN: S3 life cycle policy - move to SIA only if size bigger than 128KB

TH: นโยบายวงจรชีวิตของ S3 - ย้ายไปที่ SIA ก็ต่อเมื่อมีขนาดใหญ่กว่า 128KB

RO: Politica ciclului de viață S3 - treceți la SIA numai dacă dimensiunea este mai mare de 128KB

RU: Политика жизненного цикла S3 — переход на SIA, только если размер превышает 128 КБ

VI: Chính sách vòng đời của S3 - chỉ chuyển sang SIA nếu kích thước lớn hơn 128KB

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
