You are urged to check in right at 24 hours. I’ve forgotten to check in and get A8(behind non status people) Then when I check in right at 24 hours I get A1. (Of course there are exceptions for through / connecting pax who can check in earlier than you on the segment).
Status helps only on anytime /WGA boardings orders.
I must be doing something very different because I get a notification from the Southwest app on a BS fare that just says "your boarding position is" , I never both checking in at 24 hours. Frequently it's A1
