Algorithms based on status and projected demand. Tuesday at noon and you are in first class as a golden, Monday morning you are #19 as a platinum.

It depends on how many first class seats they've already sold and how many people with similar status are on the same flight. Lots of open seats + a couple diamond/platinum people = auto-upgrade. Very few open seats + lots of people with status = assigned at the gate.

Fare class you book. You're probably getting Y of A fares

Also their algorithms look at stuff like how often people buy walk up first class tix, or how often paid first from earlier/later flights want to same day change, etc etc...basically if there's any way the seat can generate revenue, or make a better experience for a revenue first class passenger = wait until gate to do any upgrades
