I've probably changed the dates/destinations at least 7X since December, until I finally cancelled due to a temporary lockdown. But really prefer not to wait 3 months to get my refund. So hoping my ticket is not considered as a complicated one.
Probably that would be counted as complicated as each time the agents were manually waiving the change fee for you.

I have tickets booked prior to 22 Oct 2019 for travel in 2020, the flights were cancelled and tickets reissued (same itinerary) to Dec 2020 and then reissued again given the ongoing travel ban to Aug 2021 - which again looks unlikely - sigh. Ideally I’d like to move them again to later in 2021 (i would have to pay considerably more if booking the same itinerary now and I do have material schedule changes I have not accepted) but there also seems to be reference to a 2year window from the original booking date which would be coming up, so not sure I would be able to move. Thanks!
As your flights had an involuntary change and you haven't accepted it yet, you should already qualify for a refund at this time.
For the policy part, it's your original booking date that is considered so you wouldn't have the right to refund your ticket whenever you want.
