There is supposed to be a 9,900 mile deduction on US/short-haul international awards and 19,900 miles on long-haul international on BE award cancellations (announced way back in 2021), but they don't seem to have been enforcing it. It's not uncommon for cancellations to go through manual review if there have been schedule changes, so it might not mean anything.
