Without knowing all of the details, the following factors likely helped:

1) Saturday travel usually lighter
2) Holiday weekend (most people traveled on Friday to get an extra full day of the long weekend)

Yup, Saturday night red-eye on Labor Day weekend. Also had no problem confirming my colleague in F with some remaining PPs.

M Fare - CPU
Cleared T-2:20.
At T-4:00 I was #2 and First showed Full with 10/10 checked in. So it was a nice surprise as I settled into the Senator Lounge.
Seat 4A in a CRJ 550. One of my Favorite seats.

UA2601 - RSW-ORD
Silver, K Fare with 1 no-status companion
CPU cleared T-24 (we were #4/5 on upgrade list with 9 available seats), reservation is now split due to the order of processing upgrades.
10h before flight, equipment swapped from 737-900ER to 737MAX8 which has 1 less row of First. We had seats in the last row so our seats are now unassigned, "See Agent". Fare Class still shows PZ. thoughts and prayers, my first CPU in 1.5y of United status

Good luck! Hopefully with the PZ fare still showing you're OK and just need a seat assignment.

since that post I missed a call from United, voicemail was asking if I was flexible. I didn't call back but shortly after a couple seats opened on the seat map one by one and I assigned them to myself and my companion. Guessing a couple others were offered something and took it. We are pleased to have the seats.
