What gives? Gold Elite has to pay $50 and 15,000 miles to upgrade domestic flight???

I am a CO Gold Elite and have a flight from CLE-RSW next week. When checking my reservation on co.com, I looked at the upgrade options and this is what I found under "Upgrade Using Miles". Since when does CO start charging miles and cash for upgrades of domestic flights???
