You should receive an e-mail when the reservation is placed on hold, but no reminder before it expires.
Did the e-mail you received have this language as quoted by

Award reservations ticketed between 20 and 7 days of departure will incur a $50 USD Award charge or for Award reservations ticketed 6 days or less from departure, a $100 USD Award charge is required for the first award. An additional $25 USD will be added for each additional award processed from the same account at the same time.
If so, while it may not be the ideal way to give notice, AA did tell you about it.
