Athena Iceberg DROP TABLE DDL timeout after 60s?
The stated DDL timeout for Athena is 30 minutes, according to quotas. We regularly see DROP TABLE failing with "DDL execution timed out" after 60 seconds. This causes a lot of problems for me.
To reproduce - my branch of dbt-athena here has a test that fails due to this timeout issue to drop an iceberg table every time. Athena Engine v3.
Is there any way to fix it? Is this a known issue? Will a fix be forthcoming?

I am getting a similar DDL timeout after 60s with a table CREATE statement. I'm not sure why it's taking 60s to for a simple CREATE TABLE statement (not CTAS). Something is not right.
