Has anyone experienced issues with booking AA award tix recently? the AA site just plays with my emotions...i get excited seeing availability, but eventually am let down

. Domestic award flights and flights on other OW carriers to Europe seem to book just fine
It could be purely phantom, married segment logic not reflecting well on AA.com, or just an AA.com bug. It's worth calling AA if they can book it just to be sure.
I've gotten errors trying to book JL flights, then I see a reservation for the flight in "my trips" in the app in a hold state.
