Does downgrade comp apply to this segment now?

Great job (aka, sarcasm) of United even notifying me that the plane changed. Now the reservation shows me still in confirmed first class but my seat assignment is in coach and unchangeable even though other seats are open in the app. Super frustrating. If I call and ask them to change my seat then they'll change my cabin and I won't be eligible for the downgrade comp I imagine.

Just wondering how this is handled normally.

Thanks,
