If you are booked in an eligible fare, this is normally proposed at any time in MMB, not only at T-50

they can be processed at the lounge as well.

Another data point (or rather lack of data point, but still informative) : just flew to HKG on AF in J and was curious to see if paid upgrades to P would be proposed. Outbound to HKG : nothing proposed but the flight was P0J0W0Y0 several days before flight and that was indeed the case, so logical that no upgrades were proposed. Return to CDG : nothing proposed at OLCI, despite P empty (and J 95% full). I didn’t ask at the counter or at the lounge, but I found weird that nothing showed up at OLCI.
