Valkey support for Elasticache resources were added to v5.73.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider. You may want to check your provider version and make sure you are using this version or newer.

P.S. In the future, It would be really helpful if you could provide more information such as Terraform + provider versions as well as a sample Terraform configuration. Alternatively, you can also open a GitHub issue which gives you a template to fill in all required information for further investigation.
