You might be talking about ticketing deadline? The taxes and fuel fines on your itinerary would've had to be recalculated if it's been more than 7 days since they were last calculated. The base fare is 'guaranteed' so long as there is no change to the base fare by OW.
I've been told by multiple agents at the ATW desk that the price quote record (base fare + taxes + fuel fines etc) is only valid for 7 days from the date it's calculated. Whenever I've rung up the ticketing office within 7 days from the date the price quote is created, they'd issue the ticket right away. Otherwise, they have to send the itinerary back to AA Dublin (unless they have their own tariffs desk) to be repriced.
