Why can't I check in online?

I have a flight this afternoon. When I try OLCI, I get a message that I must check in at the airport. Any ideas why?
  • I have a seat assignment.
  • I'm not elite, so not an upgrade issue.
  • It's a simple A-B-A domestic round trip, all with US flight numbers on US metal.
  • Ticket purchased with a credit card 4 weeks ago.
  • I've flown US and other airlines recently without any special security flagging, and my US freq. flyer number is on the ticket.
  • Flight is showing as on time (hasn't been canceled).

So what might have triggered this? And how much extra time to I need to allow?
