gcloud sql instances patch fails with invalid data error - google-cloud-platform

Question

When trying to add high availability on an existing Cloud SQL instance using:
gcloud sql instances patch $INSTANCE --project $PROJECT --availability-type regional
the process fails with this message
The following message will be used for the patch API method.
{"project": "$PROJECT", "name": "$INSTANCE", "settings": {"availabilityType": "REGIONAL", "databaseFlags": [{"name": "sql_mode", "value": "TRADITIONAL"}, {"name": "default_time_zone", "value": "+01:00"}]}}
ERROR: (gcloud.sql.instances.patch) HTTPError 400: The incoming request contained invalid data.
It also fails using the web interface.
Gcloud version Google Cloud SDK [280.0.0]
This is the output of the log (not much help that I can see):

Edit:
When using the gcloud cli command:
gcloud patch with 3 input parameters
Both $PROJECT and $INSTANCE do exist since I can gcloud sql databases list --instance $INSTANCE --project $PROJECT and it works fine.
availability-type=regional it's documented so should work
I'm not constructing the request manually, I'm using gcloud CLI
When using the console.cloud.google.com web interface:
Main menu -> SQL -> select instance -> Enable High Availability.
It's a button, no parameters added by myself.
Both return the same error "The incoming request contained invalid data."
Can't see how I may be doing it wrong.

Answer 1

Please check your data in the incoming request.
I used the Method: instances.patch and it worked as expected for me.
project
instance-name
request body:
"settings": {
"availabilityType": "REGIONAL",
"databaseFlags": [
{
"name": "sql_mode",
"value": "TRADITIONAL"
},
{
"name": "default_time_zone",
"value": "+01:00"
}
]
}
}
Curl command:
'https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/sql/v1beta4/projects/your-project/instances/your_instancet?key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"settings":{"availabilityType":"REGIONAL","databaseFlags":[{"name":"sql_mode","value":"TRADITIONAL"},{"name":"default_time_zone","value":"+01:00"}]}}' \
--compressed```
Response 200:
