Hi i have an issue with terraform not being able to see the s3 bucket when i specify it as a backend

          --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint="eu-west-2"

terraform init

Error: Failed to get existing workspaces: S3 bucket does not exist.

The referenced S3 bucket must have been previously created. If the S3 bucket
was created within the last minute, please wait for a minute or two and try
again.

Error: NoSuchBucket: The specified bucket does not exist
    status code: 404, request id: QYJT8KP0W4TM986A, host id: a7R1EOOnIhP6YzDcKd66zdyCJ8wk6lVom/tohsc0ipUe5yEJK1/V4bLGX9khi4q4/J7d4BgYXCc=

backend.tf

terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket = "some_name_here"
    key    = "networking/terraform.tfstate"
    region = "eu-west-2"
  }
}

provider.tf

provider "aws" {
  region                  = "eu-west-2"
  shared_credentials_file = "$HOME/.aws/credentials"
  profile                 = "terraform"
}

I can see the bucket in the dashboard
