RDS MySQL 8.0.29 version is deprecated. Could not do upgrade or modify anything.

Dear Customer, Thanks for reaching out to us via AWS re:Post. I just saw this post and checked with my peers and found the below info. The minor version MySQL 8.0.29 release has been deprecated and that’s the reason that you couldn’t find the version in the list any more. At this point, recommendation is for customers that have visible symptoms of a crash we recommend they do a Point-In-Time-Restore (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_PIT.html ) to recover the database. Please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of AWS for the inconvenience caused by this. When the new version is released and available on RDS we’ll inform you and the rest of our AWS community on our announcements page here: https://aws.amazon.com/new/ If you would like to downgrade your instance to version 8.0.28, below options are available: Using Native MySQL import export tool:

You can use tools like mysqldump/Mydumper/Myloader to import and migrate from existing RDS MySQL instance on 8.0.29 to another instance on 8.0.28 version.
