Same day change to later flight possible?

Hi,

Is it possible to change to a later connecting flight for free? I will have a overnight connection with my ticketed connecting flight at 9am. Can I change it to the later flight at the airport on my arrival day? The later flight is within 24 hours when I arrive at PTY. Prefer to sleep in and have breakfast at the hotel first if possible.

Tried at starting airport. Agents can't do it.
Tried at PTY after arriving, CS said I have to pay change fees. Only change to earlier flight is free.

Little trick. First, in the start airport or in telephone customer service, ask about the stopover program, after that, ask of you can get the change for free. Sometimes, it can work. Also, at check in, in the app, in some cases, they show the offer for free change.
