I hope they would do passes more than 48 hours before the end of the month, since they caution users that transactions may take that long to be reflected in a pass.
I think I've been really lucky in that I've never been bit by the delay. More than once I've added value after realizing on my morning commute to work that I was out and had it active on the card on my way home, but given that it's possible for fare boxes not to be updated when they're taken out for the day I'm hopeful someone chose to add a small layer of protection.
I also switched from value-adding to monthly pass with zero problems and can see that I still have value on my card. I don't trust myself to remember to turn off auto renewal in the spring when I switch back to biking so haven't experimented directly with it myself.
