Yes, in general once you go from EXP to no status the upgrade shouldn't be honored. Possibly you might get lucky considering how sometimes AA's technology is a bit backwards. Also, even if the upgrade clears once you go to check in you might be prevented from upgrading, in the way a GLD or PLT would not be able to check in with the upgrade without the sufficient number of stickers in their account. If are traveling more now you might ask AA about a GLD or PLT challenge.
