Is Qantas getting a lot more tight ass or is it just me?

I'm trying to change my seat for an upcoming flight I have as more become available further towards the front.

the booking was made through Navan as it's a work trip, however, I have done this before and never had an issue.

I had already paid the $60 to select an upfront seat (work paid not me) but now if I want to move they want to charge me more, even though it's the same value. I even called up to get confirmation to see if that was true.

to clarify, rows in front of me were not available when I booked.

anyone had this happen or have any tricks?
