(as a non-list member I dont get replies if you're not replying to me as well)
the upgrade will resulted in a 10 minute outage for reg.
The way to work around it is clone the DB and cut over seems to be spin up a new cluster thats upgraded, cut over, kill old cluster.

Hello,
You are receiving this message because you have one or more Amazon Aurora MySQL clusters running a version of Aurora MySQL 1 (with MySQL 5.6 compatibility) in the US-EAST-1 Region.
Amazon Aurora MySQL 1 (with MySQL 5.6 compatibility) will reach end of life on February 28, 2023. We are providing you with a one week notice so you have sufficient time to upgrade your database cluster(s). You can find additional information needed to plan your upgrade including a detailed timeline with milestones in the 'Preparing for Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition version 1 end of life' documentation [1].
Clusters that are running these deprecated engine versions after March 1, 2023 will be upgraded on your behalf within a maintenance window after March 1, 2023. The major version upgrade will start within your maintenance window and typically finish within that timeframe. Depending on the cluster and the database activity at the time, the upgrade process may extend beyond the maintenance window. For more information, please refer to the Amazon RDS maintenance window [2].
The clusters we identified as affected are listed in your 'Affected resources' tab of your AWS Health Dashboard. You may also find clusters affected by this deprecation notice by utilizing the 'Finding clusters affected by this end-of-life process' guide [3].
