Is there ever a time that will be allowed without charge. ....
There is what the rules state -- you should be charged if you to chose an E+ seat (vs being assigned one by UA)
and
there is what might happen if you ask -- unknown but no harm in asking.

If you attempt to move yourself online / via the app -- you will lose your present seat and be charged for any new E+ seat assignment. So you only route is asking an agent (phone or airport).
