Status changed after check-in. Can I update my mobile boarding pass?
This morning I checked in for an international flight that leaves tonight. In the meantime, I had additional miles post that took me from Silver to Gold status.
Boarding pass shows the silver status from the time of check-in. Is there a way to get it changed to Gold (assuming that will make it easier to take advantage of the lounge access this afternoon if it shows on my boarding pass).
I haven’t been able to find a way to “refresh” the boarding pass or re-do my check-in. Any ideas? Or will it not matter when I have the Gold status showing on my app? Thanks!

that might not work so well when boarding group 1 instead of group 2, where the GA could toss you out of BG1.
Your gold card in your app should allow you access, but it is probably better if you call in, get yourself offloaded and have the CS agent make sure your gold status is reflected in your reservation before you re-check in.

There's a lag of a day or two between miles posting and status changing. If the app or website show Gold, ryman554's advice is sound.
I can only recall once seeing a GA enforce boarding groups.
