I told her I had arrived from the US couple days prior and would not budge. On my TPE-HKG segment, the agent in TPE waived the fee because I would be traveling to the US the same day therefore applying the HKG/US weight limits.

Seemed inconsistant and wrote an email to CX customer service and didn't get a clear answer except they said that their agent was correct.
