Narrative:
I was working the high west departures. Special use airspace (sua) was active 21000 feet to 25000 feet. There was weather in the area mostly to the southeast. There were a lot of reroutes to my sector. Also there were traffic management restrictions for 15 miles in trail over two of my routes. Normal operations we climb the departures to 23000 feet. When the sua is active we climb southwest bound departures to 20000 feet until they clear the active airspace. I accidentally climbed aircraft X to 23000 feet like normal operations. The airspace has not been active in months so it is not a common thing anymore.
