Cloudfront page invalidations not working

Question

We have used Cloudfront in conjunction with a WordPress site for a few years.
Page invalidations have worked fine in the past. But not any more.

As of today, if we create a *new* post, it is appearing on Cloudfront. So that's fine.
However, users wouldn't be able to find it because the Home Page and all category pages are not updating.

We tried invalidating the pages (and whole site) but it still shows stale indexes. This puzzles us. We'd expect either:
a. it to refresh and show the same updated page as displayed on the origin
or
b. if something is broken, to show the page as broken

If it's showing stale pages this implies it is not invalidating the page?

Yesterday we updated to WordPress 6.3. However, the origin works just fine. The issue is only on Cloudfront.

After this issue appeared we changed the WP plugin from the old AWS official one to the new WP Admin CDN. No change.

Any ideas? Anyone else having problems?
Many thx.

Hello.  
Did you do the following so that all caches can be deleted?  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Invalidation.html  
```
"/*"
```

Also, have you deleted your browser cache?  
It is also possible that there is some cache left on the origin web server, so please try restarting the web server.
