Did ANA reduce J availability to 1 seat?

Can you share your route? I'm looking specifically at LAX->HND or LAX->NRT which typically has 1/2 F, 2 J, 3-4 Premium. Of course this was before the pandemic. Now I'm only getting 0, 1, 1. Tried refreshing on the dot for 3 days straight.

I booked IAH-HND-SGN/SIN-NRT-JFK. When I was looking before my Amex points transferred, I mostly saw IAH outbound and ORD return availability on several days in late May/early June. The JFK availability (and not waitlisted) was a complete surprise so I immediately grabbed it 355 days out.

I've always had pretty good luck with close in premium bookings on NH (usually less than 1 week out). I've never had a schedule that I could predict for 355 day bookings, so don't even look.

I'm flexible enough in my travel that I can wait a week out to book but the problem is lodging. We typically stay in Airbnb's so we can't wait a week out to book. It'll be impossible.
Checked again today and still only 1 J, 1 Premium, and 2 Economy.

How are you confirming this ticket if you're also required to confirm the return leg at the same time?

I'm also seeing this on the LAX-NRT/HND routes. Going all the way out to end of schedule, the only days with J availability show just 1 seat. Frustrating, as I'm sitting on a pile of VS points from a cancelled 2xJ + 1xF reservation. Would love to use them to go back to Japan.
Hopefully this gets fixed once tourism opens up and 773 gets put back on the route.
