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.
