Hey! Thanks for writing in. I've verified this, unfortunately I can't find any documentation on AWS's documentation site that mentions it 😦

I think at this time we simply need to document it on both https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/autoscaling_group.html and https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/launch_template.html#market-options . Adding a note on both pages to mention the limitation may be the best we can do for now.

Here's a full config that reproduces this, for those curious.:

resource "aws_launch_template" "foo" {
  name = "cts"

  block_device_mappings {
    device_name = "test"
  }

  credit_specification {
    cpu_credits = "standard"
  }

  disable_api_termination = true

  ebs_optimized = true

  elastic_gpu_specifications {
    type = "test"
  }

  iam_instance_profile {
    name = "test"
  }

  image_id = "ami-12a3b456"

  instance_initiated_shutdown_behavior = "terminate"

  instance_market_options {
    market_type = "spot"

    spot_options {
      spot_instance_type = "one-time"
    }
  }

  instance_type = "t2.micro"

  kernel_id = "aki-a12bc3de"

  key_name = "test"

  monitoring {
    enabled = true
  }

  network_interfaces {
    network_interface_id = "eni-123456ab"
    security_groups      = ["sg-1a23bc45"]
  }

  placement {
    availability_zone = "us-west-2b"
  }

  ram_disk_id = "ari-a12bc3de"

  vpc_security_group_ids = ["sg-12a3b45c"]

  tag_specifications {
    resource_type = "instance"

    tags {
      Name = "test"
    }
  }
}

resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "bar" {
  availability_zones        = ["us-west-2a"]
  name                      = "foobar3-terraform-test"
  max_size                  = 1
  min_size                  = 1
  health_check_grace_period = 300
  health_check_type         = "ELB"
  desired_capacity          = 0
  force_delete              = true

  termination_policies = [
    "ClosestToNextInstanceHour",
    "OldestLaunchConfiguration",
    "OldestInstance",
    "NewestInstance",
  ]

  launch_template = {
    id      = "${aws_launch_template.foo.id}"
    version = "$$Latest"
  }
