How can you "not request an upgrade until after T-72" and also "request the upgrade early"

I know with UA, as long as NC/NF is available, I can claim the seat (although it may not happen automatically and require a phone call to the 1K desk).
As for the issue once it is requested: let's say you request it at 40 hours, if there is X availability, you will clear into X when you place the res on hold. If there is no X availability, you will be placed in the PLT queue, which will clear before they start clearing GLDs. They may clear the list at 24 hours, they may not clear it until the airport, that depends on the loads, etc...
