@machadovilaca Thanks for raising this.
The issue has been noted in #32 (and others) and a solution discussed in #9061 (comment).
Could you please close this issue and upvote the linked issues?

@ewbankkit , a thought about this specific case. the EC2 Instance ID is known, and while there spot instance request API doesn't allow for tagging the instance directly (at the moment). another call to tag the instance can be added

@DrFaust92 Yes, we could but I think it would complicate the aws_spot_instance_request resource.
It seems that thinking is converging on something based #8457 as a solution to these kind of problems.

Closing as duplicate of #32.
