I'm trying to book a night train ticket from Vienna to Berlin on September 28, but there are no options available. I checked alternative dates but it seems that tickets aren't sold online from September 23 onwards. Does anyone know why this is the case?

The usual reason......
it's a 23rd September is a season change and they are infamous for not releasing reservations at season changes until very late. Some would say there is a deeply technical reason for this - or it could just be incompetence. The same will happen at 13th December....

There are currently-and for still a week or 2-3 to go WORks on the tracks-right on the border CZ->DE: this limits the nr of trains to pass by and also affects timings for-if at all possible- trains that manage to pass by. Therev may be the odd day that it prevents any train.
Just 1 of the dozens of limitations of these iron dragons on steel rails compared with a plane in the air or a bus on the roads.

The dates when trains will not run at all or differently are already known and the timetable shows them.
