Maintenance code B123

I have a 2018 accord sport 2.0T and have 58,700 on it. About an hour ago my car gave me a maintenance code of B123. I’m a huge gear-head and as you can tell, I keep up on everything of course. I googled the code, and the internet says the obvious things: change oil, oil filter, in cabin filter plus transmission fluid. I don’t think my transmission fluid needs to be changed, but I wanted to ask here anyways. Thanks for any help and suggestions!
I researched online that it’s about $225 and I’m having a new baby soon, and trying to save a little. It of money. Lol. Thanks a bunch everyone!

With the mileage you have on your car it's probably due for transmission fluid change. On my GMC Yukon it is recommended to change transmission fluid at 60k intervals.

Found this on the web suggesting the transmission fluid should be changed at 60k on Accord's...

If this is an auto trans the trans fluid is very easy to change. I changed mine at 30K miles. It takes about 4 quarts if I remember correctly. The Honda fluid was about $10 a quart. It's no different than changing your oil, unless your doing a filter change with the fluid. Still the filter is an easy change if your a gear head.

Facts are Oil Filters Life Span & Dirt Carrying Capacity are More Important - then Changing of Oil .

Actual Change Timing - Cars Mileage & Way it's Driven is ( City vs Highway ) Chiming In to Dictate when that Happens ..

Most Import Is the Level , as Long as Level is Up & Oil Looks & Smells Good - I'd run it Longer , but Filter needs to be Changed some Time between 40K ~ 60K
Filter is somewhat Small , Even Thou Honda's Trans Fluid is Very Thin - like - Zero Weight - It will Past Filter but ( Not sure If that Trans Filter has a By Pass Built into It )
