Do you normally buy tickets so far out? 3-6 weeks usually the sweet spot based on my experience, or whatever the longest advance purchase period would be.
I usually do book pretty far out as we only fly business or first and quite often for Big Island those seats sell out or there’s very little chance we can upgrade.
