Hello.

Have you checked the troubleshooting documentation below?
Your Elastic IP address may be registered as rDNS.
First, please check if you can release the Elastic IP address by following the steps described in the document below.

As stated in the above document, if you are unable to release the Elastic IP by unsetting rDNS from the AWS CLI or Management Console, please contact AWS Support.

I submitted this form https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/contacts#/rdns-limits and requested rDNS removal. Once removed, I was able to remove the IP addresses.

Thanks for the recommendations.
