Oneworld Explorer ticketing

Well here is something interesting.

When I tried out the online booking tool for a RTW - it said the flight was over the limit of 34,000 miles for a bus / first flight, even though I was booking a DONE4.

As far as I can tell there is no such limit on a Oneworld Explorer.
So is this just another error in their tool, or is it an actual rule they have slipped in?

Looks like this is not a new problem, reference further up this thread (Sept 2023) to the same issue

The global explorer, which has a 34000 mile limit, is the same price as the oneworld explorer, which doesn't have a mileage limit.

Sometimes the underlying system throws up the global explorer fare by default instead of the oneworld explorer fare. I suspect this is the reason behind why the oneworld site occasionally but not always enforces a 34000 mile limit.

And I just thought it was a limitation in the booking tool where the developers had decided to simply block all over that limit (all my attempts this year threw up this error).

When I went over 34,000 miles it said I was no longer eligible for Global Explorer, but was eligible for Oneworld Explorer.

But then refused to price it because over 34,000 miles
