I don't know of a way, other then maybe find the UC closest to where you start, and simply ask at the door. Typically if they are not accepting the pass, there is a sign they place out front.

But this is dynamic and no way for a club to determine ahead of time.
Usually obligated?
But yes, UA can limit access any time for space issues, even to full members (think space/fire occupancy rules/etc).
FWIW, here is UA's "official" position on the pop up C93 club:
New York/Newark United Club pop-up location and one-time passes
A new United Club pop-up location is now open in Terminal C, near Gate C93. This location offers beer and wine, as well as light snack options.We may not be able to accept or sell United Club pop-up location and one-time passes at United Club locations in Terminal C during peak afternoon and evening travel times when these locations are at or near capacity. We will continue to accept one-time passes in our Terminal A United Club location, space permitting, as well as throughout the United Club network.
