While implementing OAuth state hardening in Python/boto3 (verified 2026-04), conditional updates failed with ValidationException because ttl and consumed were treated as reserved keywords in expressions. The update only succeeded after replacing raw attribute names with aliases via ExpressionAttributeNames and referencing the aliases in every expression clause.

解决方案

When using DynamoDB UpdateItem with attributes like ttl or consumed, always alias them with ExpressionAttributeNames (for example #ttl, #consumed) in both ConditionExpression and UpdateExpression to avoid runtime ValidationException errors.
