Yep, sounds normal.
Our 2019 A1 Maintenance Minder code popped up at just over 3,000 miles, which was at almost a year into ownership. Of course I treated it to a B1 service (kinda dumb to change oil but not filter, Honda) including tire rotation.
Now closing in on another year of ownership, but with just over 5,200 miles on the odometer, our first B1 Maintenance Minder just popped up:

Obviously we don't drive our Passport as much as EXciivcX and many others do, but since Maintenance Minder tracks time as well as mileage, I know what I'll be doing this weekend 🔧

Im just under 5,000 and have about 50% left, car is 4 months old. Two long road trips and a third next week and Im sooooo tempted to do the A1 now but Im sticking to the maintenance minder.
Just yesterday I completed resolving our minder notice of B(oil change)1(tire rotation)6(rear diff fluid change). *The numbers might be backwards.
Bought it used on 5/17/21 with 3, 387 miles, the minder flashed at about 10.8k (IIRC) miles. I'm sure the original dealership changed the original oil before we bought. Not sure if they rotated the tires though.
I had the dealership near me change the oil for free under the certified used inclusion of 2 freebies. The only thing I don't like about the freebie (and I love freebies) is that you had to wait for the minder to flash. I'm old school and prefer to change the oil, ready or not at 5k miles of use.
I purchased a lifetime alignment and balance/ rotation perk (as I do for all of our vehicles) on the existing tires from my trusted alignment company (Firestone Complete Auto Care) that does business in my frequented area. $232.## OTD after applying Labor Day sale coupons of $40 off of LA and 15% off B&R. The most I've ever saved on the LA is 10% or $20. Even the service writer said he's never seen $40 off.
A single AWD alignment is $99.99. It will take less than 2 alignment follow ups, that I do religiously when I have the tires rotated, to pay for itself. It's good for the LIFETIME of the vehicle while we own it.
I had my trusted local mechanic change out my rear diff fluid @ 11,405 miles with Honda fluid for just under $78.60. The fluid alone at retail near me is $34.00 had I tried to DIY. It wasn't worth it to me as an owner of an ELITE model (j/k...I am). Others such as my local dealership and my very own brothers repair shop both quoted me $120.00. My mechanics hired hand did it right in front of me yesterday as the first client in the shop (with opening time apptmt) while we bs'd about my "new/used" rig.
NOTE: Their computerized system calls for 1.92 quarts. He sucked out as much as he could and told me it took nearly all 2 quarts before he stopped because it began dribbling out and buttoned up by flipping the crush washer and putting the plug back in. He also answered my other question (for me and all of you) by telling me it looked like it was in good shape (not too dirty at all). You can use the same crush washer 2x is the tip simply by flipping it.
*I believe I read here that someone said it takes more than 2 quarts on occasion (DIY style). You might want to check yourself on that one.
3 different vendors, all way below retail because I'm just that way. Never pay retail on anything!

My B6 light came up at 12,100 miles
Dual Pump Fluid II costs $34 where you live. OUCH!!
Local dealer (Larry Miller Honda) sells it for $9.55/qt, plus tax. And when I bought it (3 qts) they gave me the two new crush washers at N/C.
Don't know what their service department charges for that rear differential service (very easy to do) or the complete B16 service, since I do it myself.
Just had mine done at 10,000 miles. With pure synthetic oil, rear dif fluid and tire rotation cost me $127 here in the Tampabay area.
