S3 lifecycle transitions have minimum age rules which needs to be true for each object. You can't immediately move a file directly to glacier after uploading it in S3.

Generic lifecycle policy could be S3 (standard) -> 30days -> S3 (Infrequent Access) -> 60days -> Glacier

Check the details on the minimum number of days from the documentation.
