I guess my only option is to suck up the fare difference when rebooking to a higher fare bucket at this point. I can‘t ask for a voucher or refund of course.

The flights changed from A321 to A319 so I don‘t expect them to be canceled even though demand is low.

Final decision on what to do will be 7 days out.
Just to follow up on this. I have now rebooked to June 2021 (!) and paid 40 CHF fare difference as I found availability in Z (outbound) and O (inbound), so the fare difference was not very high.
