If there is a United First seat available when will it clear - 24 hours before or on the day of departure. If the latter, should I wait to check in until the flight day?

Thank all!
You should still check in at 24 hours to get a E+ seat. It will not have an impact on your chances for upgrade.
They will clear upgrades right up until boarding is complete. Keep an eye on the upgrade list on the app to judge your chances.
