Fulfillment Inbound v2024-03-20 GenerateTransportationOptions readyToShipWindow is meaningless

[brandondev1]

When submitting a GenerateTransporationOptions request with a readyToShipWindow.start doesn't have any effect on the transportation options returned by ListTransporationOptions. I get many options returned that have a carrierAppointment.startTime before the readyToShipWindow.start submitted. I would assume if we say our shipment isn't going to be ready until 2025-03-07, we shouldn't get hundreds of options returned with carrierAppointment.startTime before that date. I get hundreds of meaningless options.

An example with readyToShipWindow.start set to 2025-03-07

One of the hundred of meaningless options returned by ListTransportationOptions:

{
    "carrier": {
      "name": "Tforce Freight",
      "alphaCode": "TFIN"
    },
    "carrierAppointment": {
      "startTime": "2025-02-26T00:00Z",
      "endTime": "2025-02-26T23:59Z"
    },
    "quote": {
      "cost": {
        "amount": 192.1,
        "code": "USD"
      },
      "expiration": "2025-02-21T18:26Z"
    },
    "preconditions": [],
    "shipmentId": "sh34e3e353-5203-4e69-a97d-70626586bff3",

    "shippingSolution": "AMAZON_PARTNERED_CARRIER"
  }

Why would we need an option with a carrierAppointment time a full week before our shipment will even be ready for pickup? This wouldn't be a major issue, but in the example above we get 1377 options returned which takes a ridiculous amount of time to page through 69 pages of responses with a page size of 20.
