I requested the upgrade >24 hours out; however, it was only confirmed at the gate by the gate agent. They were not accepting requests made less than 24 hours (i.e. no at-gate requests), but they processed upgrades based on the upgrade list, as it stood 24 hours prior to departure, in the order on the list. So, if you're on the list and there's seats available, you should be given one at the gate, based on my experience, without worrying about being bumped further down the list within 24 hours of departure.
