Why does TT ask if I was a full time student for 5 months for the purpose of Education-related tax breaks?

In the "My Info" interview section, TT asks if I was a full time student "for at least 5 months during the year for the purpose of education-related tax breaks", but my understanding is the 5 month rule only applies to the dependency test? The AOTC and Limited Lifetime Credits do not require full time status for 5 months as far as I understand. Is this an error in the question?

 

I assume since Senior year classes in 2023 ran from February - May  I was only a student for 4 months (January was part of an extended winter break).

 

Were you a full-time student in 2023?
Some full-time students can get education-related tax breaks, so we want to check if you went to school full-time for at least 5 months during the year.
