I always thought this was deliberate, especially when going from RX to R0 right before a scheduled sweep or EUA run.

In my limited CO SWU experience (haven't earned/burned enough on CO to really analyze it), mine either clear right away because R inventory is available at time of ticketing, or they don't clear until 24h before departure. I am batting 1.000 on SWUs, though.

Dynamic waitlisting is unfortunately a thing of the past come March or whenever.
With PMCO, I've gotten used thinking that anything 'dynamic' is bad... for a while it seemed like the new enhanced!
