You're using the Quick Launch wizard, or whatever it's actually called,
right? That is, not the Marketplace and not the specific AMI IDs listed
at https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Bookworm ?
The quick launch wizard is something that AWS needs to update; we have
no control over it at all. We'll publish 12.6 AMIs as soon as it is
released, at which point I'll ping my contacts at AWS and get it
updated.
In the meantime, I recommend using either the Marketplace listings or
the AMIs listed in the SSM public parameters. Query those with, e.g.
$ aws ssm get-parameter --region eu-west-2 --name /aws/service/debian/release/12/latest/arm64
