Didn't see that coming. Miles are back in my account, though the dates for both of my upcoming trips over the next 12 months have zero F availability. Need to figure something out before June.
I can't imagine this is the reason why, but I did coincidently buy a paid J ticket on Swiss three days ago.
Amazing and congratulations! I'd keep checking for availability--I'd also call in because sometimes availability on the site and phone are not the same. If you can't find it by 6/30, make dummy reservations in C as late as possible in 2023 and keep tracking for F availability and if it opens up cancel/rebook AT THE SAME TIME via phone.
PS I am sure it has nothing to do with the paid J ticket.
