You didn’t. You’re gold, son

I got upgraded every flight between EWR and ATL with gold status for a few weeks, found out like the day before or a few hours before the flight if I was upgraded

Earliest is 72 hours prior to departure; realistically 30 seconds before boarding

Likely at the gate with gold

And probably only if you are flying mid day on Tuesday or Wednesday

Likelihood also depends on where you are flying out of. You won’t have a lot of luck getting upgrades out of the delta hubs, but even when I was silver I would get upgrades out of non-hub smaller airports a day in advance.
