From my understanding, they can't change a CD's rate once you've funded it. That verbiage would be if they changed it before you signed up, not after.

That means they can change it at any time between now and when you actually buy it, meaning the rate could change tomorrow if they wanted to.
Once you've signed up, the rate you see will be what you get.

Nowhere near me, I'll have to settle for the Capital One 11 month CD for 5% I guess.

Buy 6 month treasuries. They're almost yielding 5%. For a high earner in California, the avoidance of state tax almost makes treasuries competitive with this 6% CD (irrelevant for Roth).

Completely different but something else out there...
The composite rate for I bonds issued from November 2022 through April 2023 is 6.89%
A few things of note:
Rate is adjusted every 6 months and tied to rate of inflation.
Cap is $10k/year
Can only be purchased with cash or tax refunds (cannot use in IRA/401k).
Cannot redeem in first 12 months.
Penalty for redeeming before 5 yrs is the last 3 months of interest.

Get yourself some I bonds from TreasuryDirect.gov. Current rate is 6.89%. Redeemable after 12 months. Maximum of $10k electronic, $5k paper, though.

Ibonds will probably go way lower for the next 6 months, bringing the average for a year probably to a level of treasuries (4.7%). It's not as good of a deal as last year, especially with the lack of flexibility (no cash out for a year, 3 month penalty before 5 years etc, $10k limit per year etc).
