[Bug]: wait_for_capacity_timeout is ignored in aws_autoscaling_group in case of insufficient capacity

Terraform Core Version

1.5.7

AWS Provider Version

5.18.1

Affected Resource(s)

aws_autoscaling_group

Expected Behavior

Apply should wait for wait_for_capacity_timeout amount of time before failing with an error.

Actual Behavior

Apply is almost immediately failing with an error. 1 minute instead of 10 minutes for example

Relevant Error/Panic Output Snippet

Error: waiting for Auto Scaling Group (<blah>) capacity satisfied: scaling activity (<blah>): Failed: We currently do not have sufficient g5.12xlarge capacity in the Availability Zone you requested (us-east-1b). Our system will be working on provisioning additional capacity. You can currently get g5.12xlarge capacity by not specifying an Availability Zone in your request or choosing us-east-1a, us-east-1c, us-east-1d, us-east-1f. Launching EC2 instance failed.

#!/bin/bash
echo "ECS_CLUSTER=${aws_ecs_cluster.my_asg.name}" >> /etc/ecs/ecs.config

  )
}

Steps to Reproduce

use the above configuration to do a terraform apply.
wait for g5.12xlarge (or some other in-demand instance type) to not be available
observe error after short time
