JAL issues a press release every two months about it, e.g. most recently: https://press.jal.co.jp/en/release/202408/008257.html

What's murky is how this works in practice for xONEx tickets given the caps assume . I believe that's been discussed on flytertalk with (from memory) it varying based on ticketing carrier.
Interesting. I knew there was some kind of limit or regulation, but didn't know the exact details. I like how they actually have to justify them directly to fuel costs.
