You can absolutely, however, standby for a later flight. You just lose your confirmed flight.
I could only SDC to a later flight that same day, but not to anything the following day even though there was availability. This was via the app and two different agents. Both agents cited the stopover and fare rules as the reason why the system did not allow the change. It seems that there's logic built in to the system lock the BBB-CCC flight to the same calendar day if the fare is AAA-CCC with a stopover in BBB (versus two separate one ways). I'm sure they could override, but my attempted cuteface didn't get me anywhere on this

Thanks, I'll give it a go!
