For perspective, I only got 10k when my flight was cancelled during that crazy weekend last month with hundreds of flight cancellations. I went from a one-stop to a two-stop that arrived 7 hours later than my original booking. Then again, I didn't ask for it, they just gave it to me unprompted.

You contacted DL and they offered something. You can ask for more or better yet, ask for what you want the first time around.
20k seems reasonable. But then, I would not likely complain too much anyway.

20K RDMs are worth at least $200, so this seems generous to me.

A few years ago flying JFK-LAS, a toilet which was not serviced properly in JFK became inoperable mid-flight, we made a "special landing" to have it repaired. The female pilot proactively got all tickets refunded, DL even phoned me to make my choice of refund payment--cash was not an option, but there were lots of gift card choices, I recollect choosing Amazon.
With the unscheduled stop we were delayed about 1 hour.

20k miles each is quite reasonable and the sheer tonnage of entitlement on FT these days is shocking if people think they should be compensated any more than the value of their ticket IMHO.

How many operational toilets where there in the plane?
