terraform 0.11.8 - attribute mismatch: credit_specification cpu_credits

[snimark]

I am getting this error message when trying to apply a change to my EC2 instance when trying to invoke a change which requires replacing my EC2.

Terraform Version

Linux 64-bit

Terraform v0.11.8
+ provider.aws v1.35.0

Terraform File

provider "aws" {
  access_key = "<ACCESS_KEY>"
  secret_key = "<SECRET_KEY>"
  region     = "us-east-1"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami             = "ami-05f5f435263ef131e"
  instance_type   = "t3.micro"
  key_name        = "key1"
  subnet_id       = "subnet-056cfe06"
  security_groups = ["sg-da73baa9", "sg-6a8d451a"]
  tags            = [{"Name" = "terraform-example"},

  provisioner "local-exec" {
    command = "echo ${aws_instance.example.public_ip} > ip_address.txt"
  }
}

resource "aws_eip" "ip" {
  instance = "${aws_instance.example.id}"

Expected Behavior

According the to the tutorial, running terraform apply to change an AWS EC2 should remove the old instance and create a new one to take its place.

Actual Behavior

It seems to actually destroy the old instance, but it faults before creating the replacement instance. This behavior is repeatable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a terraform file to create an EC2.
2. run: terraform apply
3. change the terraform file with a modification which requires replacing the EC2.
4. run: terraform apply again
