At this point, around 30 min - 1 hr before boarding.
If it doesn't clear 24+ hours out (window depends on your status) they'll wait until just prior to boarding (to allow for same day confirmed to move in that window) when they'll do upgrades followed by standby and the actual boarding.
United always cleared me for first DAYS before when it was this empty even though I only have united silver through Marriott...
Wow. That seems so late. I might switch back to united!
^that was sarcasm. I paid to upgrade to first on united coming home from Hawaii with my husband before our wedding reception and it was horrid. I wanted to be rested (which is why we paid the first class fare), but the plane was so loud I could not hear my husband sitting next to me and the flight attendant just wrote down the food options and had us point to what we wanted. Also my seat did not recline at all... so much for being "rested" when I arrived just in time for my rehearsal dinner...
If you have high enough status you can clear a first class upgrade on delta 5 days before the flight. That's before there's a visible upgrade list. Once you check in, you go on the list and those upgrades don't clear basically until boarding starts.
