It's worth noting that this is not a weight allowance. It's 2 bags and 3 bags respectively. If you are in economy and bring 3 bags each weighing 10 kg, you can expect to be charged for the third bag because your allowance is only 2 bags, even though the total weight is less than the weight limit for any individual bag.
I was never sure about that in Y where BA's standard non elite allowance is 1pc max 23kg versus J standard 2pc max 32kg versus F standard 3pc max 32kg

I know as BA-Gold (and BA-Silver too) on BA we get 1x extra pc, and on Y generously max 32kg/bag also, though Y 32kg is not a oneworld-elite benefit but BA going above and beyond for own elites

I thought Y 32kg/bag (v 23kg) is just for a BAEC-Gold/Silver elites, and that OWE's of other oneworld alliance airlines, eg Qatar, get just extra 1pc flying BA metal, but bags remain max 23kg
