Made any travel mistakes lately?

For the booking itself? Doesn’t matter if you log in or not, if you go through to selecting a fare, the seat can be held.

But similar to the responses above, i’ve had that happen several times, including with award inventory. Waiting for a while usually returns the seat.

It’s a gamble, but if you know it’s 2am in the home country of the airline, you might risk that no one is booking at that time, and just give it 30 mins.

Just what I thought but it was 10 am in Europe.
