The errors you are receiving are directly from CloudWatch APIs due to the use of pNN.NN for TargetResponseTime. The docs you are referencing indicate percentile statistics are the most useful and indicate you can use any percentile you wish. You need to define the percentiles according to CloudWatch which would be in the form of p99.99, p95, etc. You can see more examples in the AWS docs for statistics, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/US_SingleMetricPerInstance.html, step 6 shows examples and explains it.
