can't assign "certain" seats for 24hrs after booking by 3rd party

My corporate travel agent booked me onto DL flights. Never had an issue to go to delta.com and select seats that I like immediately after booking. But now I get this really uncool pop-up during the seat selection:


UNABLE TO ASSIGN SEATS
Your ticket was booked through a travel agency or online booking source, and certain seats are not immediately available for assignment. Seat selection generally becomes available 24 hours after booking


Is this new? Is this a new undocumented Medallion benefits?

Cheers!
