Yes, they reduced availability starting mid-August 2024 and later. Also possibly earlier, I don't look retroactively since any inventory reduction is most likely explained by people booking.
As for why, future availability and inventory can be thought of as a prediction of declarations, which are a prediction of sales. They must have declared more than they have sold at any given point, and inventory is a reflection of the declarations. Max inventory indicates the maximum they expect to have sold by any date in the future. An interpretation of this is that they adjusted their sales predictions downward.
As for the 3BR GVs, they only built two GVs. One is wheelchair accessible and the other is non-accessible. They declared the wheelchair accessible unit first (in fact, they appeared to declare all HA rooms very early) and sales will need to progress until they declare the non-accessible unit.
Unless I am totally off in understanding things, once declared, rooms available are not based on sales.
If sales speed up or slow down, they can amend how they declare, but they can’t just take rooms from inventory because sales slowed.
This is a very concerning trend and I wonder if @drusba can weigh in. I have sent an email to DVC to forward to management to get an examination as to explain what you are seeing.
