I'll keep in mind to ask Delta specifically in the future if and when such a need arises
if you're within 24hrs call them back and ask for it now. They should be able to refund the difference or re-book for less without any fees. Anyone can change any bookings for free within 24 hrs. Unless there is an exception for being within 24 hrs of departure as well.
