It's been more than a week since then, and no charge on my credit card and the miles are still in my account. When do they usually charge these? The "upgrades" link in the app also still says the upgrade is "requested - mileage award."
It's likely that your upgrade has cleared but it just hasn't been reticketed yet, just call AA and they can push it along.
