Failing to update tags on the `AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup` resource
We are having an issue with CloudFormation for the past 2 days. This has worked flawlessly for over a year, with multiple daily deployments, but all of a sudden broke.
We are getting the following error during the CF deployment:
Resource handler returned message: "Exceeded attempts to wait" (RequestToken: d5d4641e-a1ca-ad53-5eb2-64ac9b8d9863, HandlerErrorCode: NotStabilized)
The following resource(s) failed to update: [DatabaseWarehouseParameterGroupXYZ].
This is happening on a tags update for the RDS Parameter Group (AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup). Which makes no sense as it is a simple operation. It is just updating one value for another (build ID).
- There have been no related changes to our infra.
- We have tried this many times both thru the pipeline and manual local deployments over the last 2 days.
- The timeout happens after ~ 20 minutes, which should be more than enough to update the tags.

Hi @m0ltar! I was updating a typo error in my answer and maybe I accidentally clicked on Delete instead of Update.
Here is my original answer:
I just tried a simple CloudFormation template on my end with
AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroupresource and was able to update a Tag value successfully. By any chance, is your parameter group associated with any stopped DB cluster?
Glad this helped!
Good call, @joahna! Indeed, we had a stopped clone of a production instance that was sharing the parameter group. This was not obvious from the CF resource list, as the clone was not part of the stack. Thanks for the tip!
I don't know why, but @joahna's answer is not visible anymore after I refreshed the page.
Thank you, joahna! You nailed it with the "stopped DB cluster" comment!
