Correct AGI But Rejected

Just tried E-filing and was rejected saying AGI was incorrect. Five days ago my amended return for 2019 was finally accepted. I first submitted the AGI for the amended return. Any chance that the IRS database hasn't been updated yet and my return was rejected because of this latency?

I refiled using e-file but this time I reverted to the AGI on my original 2019 return. This time it was accepted. Evidently the IRS database used for verifying E-filings does not get updated immediately. My amended return was accepted 5 days ago but the database was still using the old AGI. Looks like the latency is at least 5 days.

It never gets updated after the original tax return is filed or is filed late then nothing gets entered at all.
