eUpgrade tool shows cleared; AC says no
Has anyone experienced this before? ...
Yesterday, I booked a round trip YYZ-YVR and requested both segments to be upgraded. I was waitlisted. Today, I go into the eUpgrade site and it shows that the upgrades have cleared. Yet, I try to select a seat and it's a no-go. I called AC and explained. They look at my file and said that I'm still waitlisted and there's nothing they can do. I explained to them what I see in the screenshot below and ask them to open a support/IT ticket because clearly there's a disconnect. They say, "sorry, those people aren't around after 5:00 ET, call back tomorrow."
In the past, I've had situations where my file was a mess and they had to "clean it up". Apparently that's not the case here.
Has anyone else had this happen? What was the outcome?
Thanks!

But each segment is only listed once?
It's been a few months since I did an eUpgrade, but I would have expected two entries for each segment, one with HK where you're confirmed in Y, and one with PA (I believe that's the non-SE code) where you're waitlisted for J.
Or one HK where you're confirmed in J.
I've had to do massive HUCA to get these things sorted out when a waitlisted upgrade has cleared, so unless your flight is very soon, I would just leave it for ~36 hours and see if it resolves itself.

I called again today and sent them screenshots while I was on the phone. The CSR put me on hold a few times to discuss with a tech and they resolved the issue and gave me the J seats. They said they've seen this a few times but they didn't offer much explanation. This wasn't the same situation where each segment is listed twice and they have to clean up the file. Something else was afoot.
Thanks for the replies @canadiancow and @yyznomad
