Remind me... Upgrade wait after submitting?

I recall reading something about timing upgrades and wait time after submission, but I now can't find that discussion.
I just submitted something I really want to push through. I have 2 other things in queue also. I'm at 97% to an upgrade. I don't want the other 2 to get the upgrade, so I marked The One I Really Want as Upgrade Next.
I only submitted The One I Really Want 2 hours ago. I'm hearing there's a 48 hour wait until that can go into voting (true?). If I hit that 100% and the upgrade is applied within that first 48 hours, (a) is that bad? (b) can it move my submission into voting sooner? (My understanding is no, upgrade does not affect getting into voting, but also heard people had submissions in queue for months until an upgrade was applied and then it finally moved into voting). Just looking for clarification...thank y'all!

There is typically a 24 hour minimum time between when a nomination is submitted and before it can go into voting. This allows the person who made the submission time to log into Wayfarer and make sure they didn't miss anything in the associated text.
When while in queue, your nomination can receive an upgrade. Technically, an upgrade doesn't typically speed up a nomination from queue onto voting, but it still typically does. It still may take a few days for the nomination to get kicked into gear and be truly upgraded. Also, in my experience, upgrades from queue take a little longer to reach verdict than an upgrade from voting, since a voting nomination already has a few votes applied to it.
Thank you! Sounds like I should wait a smidge, let it go into voting, then earn the last 4% to get the upgrade.
Appreciate your help! I love this community!
Don't forget that your upgrade will be assigned automatically if you don't have an "upgrade next" selected. You can't bank them for later.

It's usually best to have an "upgrade next" assigned, even if it's in queue, especially if you care about what gets the upgrade.
An upgrade doesn’t mean it go straight into voting.. I had an upgraded nomination in queue for 2-3 days
Exactly. For me, this usually happens in new submissions
Welp, I was hoping if I held off reviewing, I could get my submission into voting locally for a day or so before earning the upgrade, but the last 4% came through today. Fortunately, I'd had Upgrade Nexted my submission, but it's still in queue. Fingers crossed that even without local reviewers it goes through :)
Keep in mind that since submissions take time to reach a verdict, you usually get the agreement a while after to vote on a submission. Since you needed only 4 more agreements, you had no way to hold the upgrade off (especially if you vote a lot).
Anyway, good luck with the important submission!
Do mind that you don't get your agreements straight away.
Recently I (almost) stopped reviewing for about 2-3 weeks and still got over 200 agreements within that period (I reviewed a lot in the period prior to my pause)
It requires others to vote as well to get to an agreement, and that can take days or even weeks
I recently submitted a wayspot (Wayspot 1) on Day 1. On Day 2 I selected it for an upgrade. One Day 3 it was eligible for an upgrade, and the status changed from "Upgrade Next" to "Upgraded" but it was still in queue. After upgraded, I nominated Wayspot 2 (also submitted Day 1) for an upgrade. On day 5 (or was it Day 6?), the second upgrade was changed from "Upgrade Next" to "Upgraded." and changed from "In Queue" to "In Voting" and was approved after about 5 hours. After that happened, Wayspot 1 went into voting and was approved.
I didn't think it took so long to get to in voting.
