It isn't mentioned but I'll bet the weight limit will drop as well down to 30 lbs from the current 40 lbs.
Wow, is the existing weight limit really 40 lbs? I never looked it up, but assumed there was one, but went with the rule of thumb: "If I can lift it myself into the overhead compartment without looking like I'm struggling, no one will ask me how much it weighs". And it took a carry-on packed full of lenses and camera gear to exceed 40 lbs.
I've never seen a carry-on get weighed, just checked bags. I just looked at American's requirements and the only thing they mention is that you need to be able to lift it.
Please note, you’ll also need to be able to lift your bag into the overhead bin
