"Code redemption is temporarily unavailable"?

Is anyone else having trouble with in-app purchase promo codes? We keep getting this error message when trying to redeem in the App Store: "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable".


It's a newly approved app ("Pending developer release") so I was thinking maybe it needed some time to propegate the system, but it's been 2.5 days now...

Still not working. Have tried with three different users.


Bug report filed...

Update: The in-app purchase promo code did not work until AFTER I released the app for sale.


This does not appear to follow expected behavior. From App Store Connect documentation:


To request promo codes for an app version, the version’s status must be Ready for Sale, Pre-Order Ready for Sale, or Pending Developer Release for iOS and macOS apps, or Ready for Sale or Pre-Order Ready for Sale for tvOS apps. For in-app purchases, the in-app purchase state must be Approved or it won't appear as an option.
