Anyone have more data points on a though-check time over 12 hours?

We will be arriving DFW a bit before 0700 and departing a bit before 8 PM, so about 13 hour layover. Will AA throught-check?

Many thanks!

I believe the default is 12 hours, but it can be extended up to 16.5 hours upon request (mentioned in a View from the Wing blog post).
