Just got my air 3 today. Updated the drone and the remote. I took it out to fly and it says home point updated. When I press the RTH, the drone goes into land mode (land at current location), RTH is not available, only land. What am I missing. Had zero issues with my Mavic air 2.

How far away was the drone?

What you describe usually happens if you don't have GPS or you're too close to the homepoint. Be at least 200 meters from yourself and try again.

What is the RTH set to, Optimal or Preset in settings?

Flew it again today and RTH worked great. Maybe it just needed to reset. RTH set to optimal.

RTH also requires acquiring enough satellites for an accurate HP before launch. How many satellites were displayed before launching each time? If not enough, HP will be reset during flight once it acquires sufficient satellites. That might also explain your earlier results.
 
You might have flown away before it aquired enough satelites and when it got enough it updated the homepoint?
Could be possible.
