It seems that often CPH-MAD arrives 10-15 min late. Will IB proactively off-load me from the BOG flight if incoming flight is late, or I will be able to give it a try to reach the T4S gate in time? It makes a difference whether I have checked luggage? (I mean I will get proactively offloaded from the BOG flight if I have checked luggage tagged CPH-MAD-BOG, but if I travel HBO I will have the chance to make it to the T4S gate before it closes?
There are data points on aggressive/proactive offloading, not sure if having checked luggage increases the likelihood.
There is no LHR style conformance at MAD, so get to the T4S gate in any case and get IDB compensation if they had offloaded you and can't put you back on, remember take a pic of you at the gate with boarding sign still on. Good luck!
