OP's case is a bit different: he was involuntarily downgraded on day of flight (perhaps due to IRROPS) and therefore was entitled to some sort of compensation (though it seems remarkably generous!) I think others have reported receiving compensation in similar cases.

Unfortunately I have fallen between both cases, as I booked four segments in F on CX, but they canceled F service on those routes after I booked, but weeks or months before the date of flight. It's annoying, but no compensation due.

Happy Travels.
