The agent was clueless but he reasoned maybe both segments need to be in the 24hr SDC window (the 1pm flight connects to a 3:30pm one). I hanged up, check in online, and saw the 1pm flight with the 3:30pm connection in the " Search Other Flight Options". I made the change, no charge.

No -- just the first segment. Just did an SDC for the entire trip with only the first segment within the 24 hour period.
