Is it seemingly random or does it cycle like the award seats releasing at midnight ? And with the time change I cannot keep up when whether that would be 12am or 1am EST for the day turnover and new seat release...
I think it is at midnight still. The only time they get released randomly, is I believe, if a hold expires. But if you are checking everyday at 12am at this point, pretty sure anyone is going to carry through with the hold and purchase at that point.

Good luck.

EDIT: sorry realized I forgot to answer one of your questions. It is 12am PT, not ET. Even for the DFW and JFK flights, which I watch everyday. My 2 week period is coming up in ~4 weeks lol.
