Is this the usual practice? I am wait listed on HKG-SFO and YVR-HKG F upgrade from my J revenue ticket in early January. I am only allowed wait list till 12/30. And I can see that on my scheduled flights HKG-SFO still has 3F open, and YVR-HKG 2F open. But they still won't release just one seat to me.

So what is their usual practice of releasing upgrade F seat and wait list policy?

My trip last August to LAX was a lot easier with upgrade cleared 1.5 month before departure for both legs. So very confused now!
Sounds right to me. Inability to waitlist (and keep status priority) up to departure is a known problem on this board and a foolish lapse on CX's part when most other carriers that allow waitlisting can manage this.
