SQS triggers Lambda on Individual message delay delivery

I created below resources using CloudFormation

Resources created successfully.

When I send a message to SQS with Delay deliver for 30 seconds, SQS triggers Lambda instantaneously. Instead, it should have trigger after 30 seconds. FYI : I am sending message using AWS console.

As per below link, it should have override the SQS delay to individual message delay. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-message-timers.html

Is there any other way to achieve this.

This is possibly a bug with the AWS console, because I encounter similar issue (lambda invoked instantaneously) when I send the message to SQS via AWS console. However, I can achieve the desired behaviour if I send the message to SQS via CLI:

aws sqs send-message --queue-url https://sqs.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/{account}/{sqs} --message-body "msg 1 delay 60 secs" --delay-seconds 60

aws sqs send-message --queue-url https://sqs.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/{account}/{sqs} --message-body "msg 2 delay 30 secs" --delay-seconds 30

Then this is what I see in the lambda Cloudwatch log:

As you can see from the log, the messages delivery are properly delayed, and lambdas are only invoked once the message is received.
