Lounge I think is 4h (unless connecting) depending how busy is how strict they are. As in will scan red before 4h.
I've definitely been rejected at CHC domestic more than 4h before flight, no connection. They said they could be a bit flexible but I think I was really early.
In case same calendar day doesn't work, I have used the luggage lockers outside AKL dom. Luggage lockers: how civilized!
