Added (1). Edit: I have already checked in for my flight tomorrow. Is it still possible to Check in a Bag after already checking in 24 hours before a flight.

How do I pay for my bags online before traveling?

You can choose to pay for up to 3 bags when you check in (starting 24 hours and up to 4 hours before departure) on aa.com or in the app. You'll get an email confirmation with instructions on where to drop bags at the airport.

If you are checking more than 3 bags, you can add more at the airport according to your bag allowances.

Pay for your checked bags online for travel on domestic flights within and between the US, including Hawaii and Alaska.

All bag fees are non-refundable and apply per person, each way, even if you purchase or get an upgrade that includes free checked bags. If you believe you've been incorrectly charged for bag fees, contact an American representative for help or file a refund claim within 45 days.

You should be able to do it online when you check in. Since you're still going to have to stop and get the tags at the airpprt, I like to just pay there and then. Fees are nonrefundable so if for some last minute reason you decide to take less bags, you'll lose out.
Obviously, on some airlines you must pay ahead for the best deal but American doesn't charge different fees yet
