Since it's been almost 6 months since the last CLI , am I eligible for a CLI for the BSP, or does the fact that I got the BSP in August reset the CLI clock to 6 months from the August approval date? Thanks much.
You are eligible 180 days from the last CLI. New CCs do not reset your clock.

However a new CC has to pass its own 61 day gate first, correct? And after that the check is whether another AMEX card had a CLI within the past 6 months, which if yes would limit both cards timing.
So if one AMEX has been over 6 months since the last CLI, and the cardholder gets a new card in the mail today, that new card cannot be CLI immediately.

That is correct. The 61 day period must be exhausted before a card is eligible. In OPs scenario, more than enough time has passed on the second cc, so now the timeline reverts back to 180 days from the last CL.
