Any truth to this story ?
Thanks,
As noted, there is nothing at all sudden about this. In addition to being AA longstanding policy (despite recent exceptions) it has been discussed here quite a bit.
And, even if one were not to read about it here, the rules for use of the eVIPs (or SWUs, as they're now called) are on AA.com

notable portion:
All travel using a systemwide upgrade must be completed by the expiration date. Upgrades will expire at 12:00 midnight (CT) on the date shown.
Cheers.
