It was not fun. But it worked out.
I tried arguing on a TPA-IAD-YYZ-YOW flight I had last year and was unsuccessful and had to rebook. In my case I was waiting on CVS and Walgreens results which were both taking far longer than I had wanted at the time (PCR/NAAT requirements at that time to enter Canada). After rebooking, sure enough I would have had the test results in time to make my IAD-YYZ flight, but no luck had to spend an extra 8 hours sitting around TPA without lounge access since I couldn't check in.
