If my request hasn't cleared by the OLCI should I wait until I get to the airport?

I am UA Plat and the miles have already been deducted.

Thanks for any insight!

Most likely, the revenue analyst assigned to your flight thinks he(s) can actually sell those last seats and hence why the upgrade inventory is zero. However, seat maps are not true indications of actual availability.
