I'm in a fairly complicated situation, but need to cancel a points booking and then rebook the same room. the property has very limited availability. Is it usually same day? Instant? Sometimes never?

Thanks
Sometimes never. There's no assurance a cancelled room booked using an award would go back into award inventory. The best way to do this is to first book the new reservation and then cancel your current booking. You also might try doing this over the phone or using your MHC, but I haven't had much success with this in recent years.
