ICC pre-dated Flex, so it should be ID based for its lockouts.
Since there is no Mythic, it usually defaulted to Normal for me when I made that mistake, but maybe it’s changed. I don’t farm for Invincible, so I haven’t been there in a great while.

During wrath itself that is not how it worked. You could do 10 man normal, heroic, 25 man normal and heroic all within the same week. When Cata came out Blizzard made it so you could not do multiple difficulties of the same raid within the same week (excluding LFR when that came out with Dragon Soul). This retroactively applied to Wrath raids as well. It is why you cannot do 10 man and 25 man Naxx now. But you could back in Wrath.
Remember, 10 and 25 mans were considered different difficulties back in Wrath. However during Cata and MoP, Blizzard treated them as the same. It is why 10 and 25 man rewarded different gear and ilvl during Wrath but rewarded the same gear and ilvl during Cata & MoP.
I think the difficulty setting may be temperamental, lol. When I have it set to mythic, some raids it will go to the highest raid tier (ie all of Legion raids do this for me), but ICC did not. I just sucked up the loss, moved on and learned not be lazy, select the raid level I want and double check the raid is set to that. Cannot win them all or please everyone. Darn you Invincible for being so elusive, lmao.
This is 50% incorrect. Normal and Heroic shared the same lockout for a particular size each week in ICC. This is why you could convert to Heroic in a mish-mash fashion once you had a normal Lich King kill to unlock that capability. So you could only run at most two ICC raid IDs per week (one 10, one 25). Additional restrictions were in place preventing you from fighting the Lich King on Heroic if you hadn’t at least killed the 3 wing bosses on Heroic in an ID.
ToC/ToGC were the only ones that allowed 4 lockouts per week in Wrath.
