This has happened many times now.

Are you still accelerating and it won't up change?
But as you mention "let go of the accelerator...." Just a thought on driving pattern... Is it possible you are lifting off the throttle 'too fast' at speed, and it is holding gears as intended, when this happens?
Disregard if I'm on the wrong track here.
This is from the 6-speed auto data, same applies in my 8-speed if I lift off fast and it anticipates a braking action.

The intention to apply the brakes can often be anticipated from the accelerator pedal being rapidly released to the zero position. If such an action is detected, the upshift is suppressed for as long as the accelerator pedal is in the zero position and the vehicle is in overrun mode.
