Smile Etihad Overbooking & VDB Compensation

I am booked on March 28th on EY231 AUH-ISB. Seatcounter.com shows all zeros and I am led to believe this flight is oversold as are most flights in and out of ISB these days as demand has tripled while supply has been cut substantially due to LH, SQ and BA ceasing operations to Pakistan.

My question is, when Etihad experiences an oversold situation, what do they do ? Do they ask for volunteers to take a later flight in exchange for compensation ? Does anyone know what the compensation is from experience or word of mouth ? What priority will the company use to choose "volunteers" ?
