Late release CX award avalability

Does anyone know about how CX releases award seats close to departure? What pattern does it tend to follow and how close do departure do they tend to open up?

I recently managed to snag a CX J fare within around 36 hours prior to departure (local time). There was also no QF J available on the same segment!

Family members had the same experience recently (MEL-BNE-HKG rebooked onto MEL-HKG). Bonus was it cost less points and was done gratis due to an issue with ticketing the original booking!
