Schedule change options for involuntary change?

I booked a SEA-DOH-EBB flight for 10/22 (return is out of NBO). I happened to log into my itin because I couldn't remember exact dates and saw that my flight had been changed to a 10/23 departure 24 hours later. SEA-DOH nonstops are plentiful, so it appears the problem is with the DOH-EBB leg. The best I can tell is that non-stops are no longer available for 10/23 and require use of RwandAIR through NBO. While it adds another stop, I'm puzzled about why they wouldn't have applied that option since it gets me to my destination on the same day as originally planned.

I have not flown Qatar before, so just curious what my reasonable options are before I try to call them or just accept the itin as is through the online portal.

I'd rather not lose a day of travel by departing a day later. Is Qatar generally accommodative? Would it be reasonable to simply change my destination to NBO without expecting a fare increase since the itin change is not voluntary? Fares are quite a bit more than when I booked during a sale they had a couple months ago.

Any advice/insight would be great. Thanks!
