I can happen up to 24 hours before for Gold but doesn’t always confirm then. AA is holding out for a few more business class seats to be sold, based on historical data, and if that doesn’t happen - you get upgraded. 🙃
Thanks for explaining!
Got upgraded 20 mins before boarding !
AAL doesn’t do automatic upgrades at gold or Platinum the way United or Delta do - you have to use “500 mile upgrade” vouchers that you earn when you fly. It’s dumb.

<500 miles and this answer is irrelevant to OPs question.
They only upgrade on certain fare codes before upgrades are taken over by airport control. There’s dozens of codes and it sounds like the four seats were not one of them.
What happened in the end?
