Is this a disk volume? Remember the retention period does not start until the volume is marked as Used or Full. For disk volumes that means you need to specify some restriction on volume usage or size otherwise the volume will grow till it exhausts your storage. At that point it will mark your volume full and want to wait 3 months after that to reuse the volume.
