I tried using the suggested approach and I got a generic decline message with the following message in the notice
Your recent spending on the account is low in relation to your current credit limit.
Does this mean I'm not eligible for any CLIs in future?
It means you need to use the card more and try again later. One denial doesn't mean you are banned from CLIs.
I was fiddling around with the amex website and found navigation which will arrive at a bit more graceful to operate page.
The only catch is that the full navigation from login requires a charge card in this example since it's launched by a check spending power link.
One nice feature of this however is that it's possible to switch cards on the fly once landed at the page. (this example is based on US/EN navigation, not sure how another geo may work)
Here's a direct link for anyone without a charge card to try. I assume it will work with a credit card only account since it does allow switching to a Credit Card from a Charge Card without any complaints.

To navigate manually to this page (provided your online card management includes a charge card) :
(amex apparently has changed the flow of the website, steps below no longer result at link above [which still functions as described].)
Select a Charge Card as the active card, then click:[Benefits] -> Payment & Purchase Flexibility -> [Learn More] -> [Learn More] -> Check Spending Power -> [View Now]
FYI: don't worry, it doesn't initiate any check spending action, just shows the sub-menu which contains that feature along with the "Increase Line of Credit" option, etc.
Same for me! I noticed the button missing a couple of months ago. It's weird because I have a $0.00 balance on my AMEX Hilton Honors revolver with EXCELLENT payment history for the past 4 years. I've never been approved for an CLI on my starting limit and when I decided to pull the trigger and ask for an increase back in November....I noticed the link to request an increase was gone. Thanks for confirming that I am not the only customer who noticed this.
Today is 01/15/2022 and the CLI request button is still missing for me. Something is definitely up with AMEX.
Great News!
I haven't requested a CLI on my Amex Blue Cash in a few years but decide to pull the trigger using the link provided by simplynoir (since the CLI button) is missing under the Accounts Page for me as well.
Just recieved an instant approval! New credit limit: $20K
