aws-cdk: DynamoDB: can't change a Table from "Pay Per Request" to "Provisioned"

description of the bug:

I created a DynamoDB table via CDK in the past with the on-demand capacity and now want to change it to be of type provisioned. I added the CDK TypeScript code to change the billing mode to be provisioned and to add auto-scaling write and read capacity and when trying to deploy this, I get the following error:

4:15:27 PM | UPDATE_FAILED        | AWS::DynamoDB::Table                        | PrivateTableName1234
The provisioned throughput for the table will not change.
The requested value equals the current value.
Current ReadCapacityUnits provisioned for the table: 5.
Requested ReadCapacityUnits: 5.
Current WriteCapacityUnits provisioned for the table: 5.
Requested WriteCapacityUnits: 5.
Refer to the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide for current limits and how to request higher limits.

Reproduction Steps

Using the following code:

const table = new Table(stack, tableName, {
            partitionKey: {name: partitionKey, type: AttributeType.STRING},
            sortKey: {name: sortKey, type: AttributeType.STRING},
            tableName: tableName,
            pointInTimeRecovery: true,
            replicationRegions: [AwsRegion.PDX, AwsRegion.DUB],
            billingMode: BillingMode.PROVISIONED
        });
        table.autoScaleWriteCapacity({
            minCapacity: 5,
            maxCapacity: 10
        }).scaleOnUtilization({targetUtilizationPercent: 75});
        table.autoScaleReadCapacity({
            minCapacity: 5,
            maxCapacity: 10
        }).scaleOnUtilization({targetUtilizationPercent: 75});

And running the following command:

cdk deploy My-Stack-Name

What did you expect to happen?

The table to be updated to be billing type provisioned and to have the corresponding min/max read/write auto-scaling units.

What actually happened?

The process throws the error listed above and:

• The billing mode does successfully change to Provisioned
• The auto-scaling min/max units are not updated

Environment

• CDK CLI Version : 1.110.0
• Framework Version:
• Node.js Version: v12.22.1
• OS : Linux
• Language (Version): Typescript 4.0.5
