Another data point: had an Elite APD upgrade request for AKL-SYD on NZ105 on 9 Aug lodged Y -> PE. No A class at the time. Set an EF alert and for the last 3 days received a notification around 0400 that A class was available but by the time I checked when I woke up there was none.
Today I check and there’s A5 at 10am. Upgrade didn’t automatically clear so called NZ to have them manually clear it. But seems there is something weird going on with A class availability coming and going very briefly as well as another data point that upgrades lodged are not reviewed when A or R class comes available after the upgrade is lodged
