AWS has issues: Service health - Oct 20, 2025 | AWS Health Dashboard | Global , most likely, related to that.

What if I completed one or two of these courses before this period? Are they counted or should I retake them again to be counted?

That's fine - so long as you complete the learning pathway (i.e. finish the remiaining courses) during this period, you'll be counted.
