I heard from someone in the GO that the caps are placed on flights 10 days in advance. The flight will show 143 available seats up until that 10 day mark. Once we're 10 days out, the cap is put in place and if there are any tickets sold over 93, another flight is added.
This info is from June so it might be dated but it seems to be accurate today.

As part of our Southwest Promise, we are temporarily limiting the capacity on our flights to allow for one-third of the seats to remain open, through November. We will not be able to accommodate revenue or non-revenue Passengers above those capped capacities. (Though we are actively watching these numbers and adding extra sections or changing to larger aircraft when necessary.) The SWALife listing tool reflects the actual number of seats for sale, including the adjusted capacity on the flight, at the time of listing. If the number listed in the "Capacity" column is either 143 or 175, then the capacity for that flight has not yet been adjusted.
Im looking at nonrevving next month. I’ve done a little experimenting with the dates... it appears they apply the cap at 8 days out.
