For example, any I bond issued between November 2022 and April 2023 earns interest at 6.89 percent annually. That means even if you purchase the bond in April, you'll still earn that rate for a full six months.
Then, your rate will reset at the prevailing rate.
Correct.
The link that I posted shows when each bond rate changes. 6 months after you purchase
