Ditto. This is what the agent told me. She could reinstate the 18th and let me keep the 17th but just warned that the system would most likely autocancel again overnight. She did confirm explicitly that it was cancelbot even though she said it technically didn’t violate the policy. Perhaps there is a threshold of trip duration or distance above which cancelbot cancels consecutive day bookings, and below which it doesn’t care.
