Route 53 domain transfer out - unable to get auth code

Question

I go to https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home#DomainListing:

I Unlock my domains. The domains are .com domains. Then I click on the button "Get code" next to the text "Authorization code" I get the following message in a popup

"Sorry, but an unexpected error has occurred while getting your auth code. Please retry again. See system status for more information on current system status."

Looking in whois for `aerobytetech.com` I can see:

There is a minimum transfer time of 60 days enforced on a new registration. You can read about this here on the ICANN website: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-holder-faqs-2017-10-10-e (see Point 3: Why can't I transfer a domain name I just registered to another registrar?). Your domain was created on September 12, 2023, so only 5 days back as I write this.

You will have to wait 60 days from the date you registered it to transfer it to a new registrar. In the mean-time you can just point the DNS delegation in Route53 to a different DNS host - if that is your desire - and the domain will continue to function normally.
