I think that's a very big, "it depends". What are you trying to accomplish there? You should just as easily be able to make the same change for the same fee after your itinerary is underway (after first segment flown). I don't recall if you're on a QF ticket or not, that may make a difference as well.

In my situation It was to forcibly break a married segment that CX initially claimed wasn't available as independent segments. In the end though it was just an agent that didn't know what they were doing and was really available as independent segments with the stopover so I wasn't forced to follow through with the intentional no-show. But they told me that I could have done the no-show if it were necessary and just call to rebook shortly after. I know it's a YYMV situation, especially if you have a QF ticket, but there's a reason there's a no-show provision in the fare rules and thankfully it's not very punitive.
