Are there other factors at play?
Here is a response I recieved when asking about upgrades:

”Please find the below rates requested. Please also note that the upgrade prices are not fixed and depends on the travel date and also our demand on certain dates”

My guess is your dates, even if it is the shoulder season, already have a heavy demand for upgrades. As we were all taught in school, supply and demand drives everything.
