How to release Elastic IP in AWS that has been disassociated?

I wish to release my IP (it's already been disassociated) but I got the error below. I don't have a Basic Support Plan, so how do I release the IP without AWS asking technical support?

Error
52.45.129.XXX: The address with allocation id [eipalloc-90993xxx] cannot be released because it is locked to your account. Please contact AWS Support to unlock it.

You can still contact the AWS support with the basic plan if you have an issue.

The IP cannot be released because there is a reverse DNS record associated with it (generally).

Try to do a host YOUR_IP, this should return NOTFOUND before you can release the IP
