when to repply to AWS/Amazon

I was recently LinkedIn approached by an AWS recruiter to interview for an opening in Seattle. After being assured that I would still be able to apply anytime in the future if failure, I gave it a shot. I made through the phone. Was invited onsite and greeted with 2 LC hard and 1 problem not seen anywhere. Therefore I didn’t make it. :( The HR (not recruiter) called me today to inform me of a rejection. I asked about when I could apply again. He said that while there would not be a hard block/waiting time keeping me from repplying anytime, hiring managers would be able to see the notes and feedback from this interview. Although I could technically reapply/ask for referrals anytime, he recommended that I try again after 1 year for any Amazon-related companies, like AWS, Robotics, Twitch etc. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that my chances of reapplying and interviewing to Amazon companies within 1 year are slim if any future HM bothers to check the notes? Did I fail spectacularly? People are telling me that typically the waiting period is 6 months or none if no hard time is set. Any kind Amazonian with knowledge of how AWS/Amazon hires? Thanks!
