Pick new flights or BAH will cancel booking?!?

I've a trip to the US booked for Feb 2022 which has received a couple of cancellations so far (1 US internal flight, and SOF-LHR leg) - nothing major (still have both F legs UuA from CW) and no urgent need to rebook at the moment...or so i thought until i just received a text from BA informing me that i had to rebook new flights by the 10th of September or they would automatically cancel and refund the entire trip.

Is this normal? I could see the point if this related to my trip in October (which I'd actually LIKE a cancellation for, so i could move out a month or two - but currently looks like that's going to end up being cancelled for an FTV for the amount paid so far - unless Joe opens up the US), but more than 5 months out - why would they be pushing to cancel?
