Call the rule change up today First!
As I understand it, there must be an ongoing filibuster for the nuclear option to be exercised. It may be that a cloture vote must take care first but don't hold me to that. In any case, the Dems will not allow a vote if they are going to lose. So, since the Pubbies appear to have the upper hand the Dems will either just stop filibustering for the moment or will settle for a deal that is highly favorable to the Republicans.
