I also know I will get pushback from clueless agents who say RUC/GUC space has to be available, much like they do in the SDC scenario.
Yesterday I changed a flight using the waiver that had GUCs cleared already on all segments. I was unable to do it using the app--getting the same message you did--but a chat agent had it done in 10 minutes and preserved the upgrade space. No pushback at all.
