bash - Remove part of name of multiple files in Linux

Question

I have several fastq.gz files in a directory. I want to delete parts of each file name.

Here are the file names:

RES_1448_001_S289_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz
RES_1448_001_S289_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz
RES_1448_012_S300_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz
RES_1448_012_S300_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz

I want to remove S and 3 digits after it. I expect this after removing

RES_1448_001_R1_001.fastq.gz
RES_1448_001_R2_001.fastq.gz
RES_1448_012_R1_001.fastq.gz
RES_1448_012_R2_001.fastq.gz

I asked a similar question before, but was advised to ask a new one to cover the precise requirements I have now.

Use rename.

rename 's/Sd{3}_//' *.fastq.gz
