How many PAX on the booking? What aircraft type? What cabin?

If there are fewer free / unblocked seats visible then you won’t get a seat map, just Aisle/Window. This is quite common with J on 737s - where the front row is blocked until T-80 and only QF CL/P1 get access prior. Row 2/3 ought to be visible to OWE (if there enough seats). No/low status PAX can only access Row 3 prior to T-80.

ExpertFlyer should give you an idea of how many blocked and occupied seats there are.
