I've one say this to me, and this is why I really always try to use the automated SDC tools whenever possible. Phone agents should be a last resort. Too much danger of them trying to make up false excuses and annotate your record.
I've had one agent do this to me last winter when I was stuck in LA because of east coast weather. After I'd made a change due to IRROPS then later decided that I wanted to take a different flight. No biggie...IRROPS situation and my bucket was available. Agent must have been having a bad day, she noted my record that no further changes were to be allowed, after she'd made the change I'd requested.

So, to echo what Jackal said, I always go to the app first, then online and as a last resort, I call.
