on each way for upgraded itinerary.

I did search on united.com and the only page saying the rules on
stopovers was:

"stopovers are permitted only in accordance with the rules of the fare purchased."

https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...grade/mua.aspx

The fare allowed me to make stopovers and I booked accordingly.

I searched flyertalk.com but only few threads like below directly talking on
the stopover rules (but it is too old)

Has UA changed the rules or their site is not working for such itinerary ?
Stop overs have NEVER been allowed using upgrades unless the stop is under 24 hours
