Amtrak usually puts it on sale mid January, at least the last few years I've paid attention. The best sale I remember was 2021 during the pandemic, and the price was $299. $250 is the lowest price I have seen, so your explanation is possible. They may be trying to fill up coach travel from now until mid May (the end of pass validity).
