PHX-DFW last night (Mon) 8:10p departure, #6 on the list. 1 cleared. My rolling EQD is around $20K right now, so not high but also not entirely low, either.

When I looked at both the outbound and inbound 24h before departure on EF, basically every single nonstop (around 8 per day, I think?) was J0. For Sunday and Monday. Wild.
I/m betting more people are paying for F, this could be why your upgrades aren't clearing, when I was flying a lot, my upgrades cleared pretty well.
