Is this an indication the flight is already sold out, that JL is holding back inventory for some reason to sell later, or a sign that JL may be cancelling the flight so it doesn’t want to continue to allow passengers to be ticketed onto it?

JL33 only operates twice weekly at the moment, so it is probably up a review on the frequencies needed in the next 3-4 months of schedules to be published.
