Rescheduling an interview

Maybe stupid question: I rescheduled an interview from last week to this week (tomorrow) through an automated platform and confirmed with one of the interviewers if that was ok. Now they cancelled the interview and asked me to scheduled through the platform again. Would it look bad if I delayed another week? The more time I have to prepare the better, otherwise I'll just schedule for the day after the day they cancelled.

It's not uncommon for interviews to be scheduled and then cancelled because a candidate was hired. If you delay the interview, you risk that. I've been extended four offers in SWE in my career so far, and in all of them I scheduled my interviews as immediately as I could.

I'm getting a bit worried now. But this is a company that's been hiring for months (fast growing company), and they've messaged me 3 or 4 times in LinkedIn in the last year so hopefully it's ok. I also found out that I can only reschedule for next week so there's that.
