Would IAD UA accept my bag 1730/1800?

You were just inside the threshold there.

I recently tried checking a bag at about 1630 for a 2300 flight, and the kiosk simply wouldn't show any bag checking option, even though I registered it in the app. I had to get staff to do it at the desk. The agent said the kiosks won't take anything over 6 hours. Kind of dumb that the kiosk just does nothing instead of advising on that.
