If Paulchilli has been ticketed and is merely trying to rebook a segment i.e. same origin and destination, same class of service, no deadline should be set. Just did it with my mother trying to get on CX162/CX100 when confirmed on CX110 earlier this month.
(Contrast: me trying to get from ticketed Premium Economy to Business for Easter: 4 day waitlist still set)
