This is the worst. I actually had a recent Alaska flight where nothing was being properly updated and the gate agent said it was fine to go to the lounge for about 30-45 minutes. About 15 mins later, i received a boarding announcement on the app (boards still hadn't been updated) and ran to the gate. It was an E175 and they were boarding the rest of the passengers (I had a seat in F). I asked the GA why the quick change and she had no response. Of course, bins were full and I had to stow my bag halfway back in the plane and then wait until everyone deplaned to get it.
