The author’s final draft should be deposited immediately upon acceptance, regardless of whether STP or HSS.
Authors who wish to comply with the 6-month embargo on STM can set access to the immediate-deposit as Restricted Access instead of Open Access during the embargo, and rely on the repository’s copy-request instead.
Not depositing immediately conflicts with the HEFCE immediate-deposit mandate for eligibility for REF2020

The AAM used to have no embargo, and this has now been altered to six months after publication. The new policy is undated, and they haven't updated the "Copyright and Repositories" agreement, which still lists the old terms:
