I have the two times it has happened to me and think that is the standard compensation from DL.

Something to consider if it happens again.
Interesting. Well, it turned out all right, though I was super pissed at having to deal with this at the last minute.

Yep. Same plane, same number of F seats, same everything. In any case, let's say they did sub at T-4 hours. What's DL's prioritization? Will they DG full fare/no status before ugprade/status pax?
