Child Tax Credit with no earned income

I am retired and received no earned income in 2024, only pension, dividends and social security. I entered all information in the return and TurboTax online states that my daughter, who is under 17, qualifies for the CTC ($2000). In 2023, my daughter qualified under the “Credit for Other Dependents” with the same incomes. Is this a potential bug? The IRS clearly states that the CTC does not start to kick in until $2,500 of earned income.
