UA used to consistently release J availability for their TPAC routes MEL/SYD/BNE <-> LAX/SFO/IAH, sometimes at T-1 and all the way up to T-30 even.

Now, when running any sort of search (Example 1 or Example 2), there's nothing (at least in J).

Has a "change" happened? I have been monitoring the LAX/SFO <-> MEL route recently, as I need to book a flight home after a trip to the US in about 2 months time.
I'm a fair way away from their usual T-14 (I think?) drop, but if what I'm seeing right now is the usual, then it'll be a bit tough to get the date/s I'm after when that window does roll around.

Any advice or insight into what's going on?
Thanks!
This coincides with SQ pulling all J rewards inventory from MEL/SYD on Velocity. Really limits the option in where you can go with velocity points out of Australia.

Late aug early sept it seems like. Not in front of a computer so can’t screenshot but the stats chart from seats.aero clearly shows an overnight disappearance on those routes.
I don't want to take this thread off topic but you can add PER-SIN to the disappeared list.
