Why do Global Entry slots at SF Enrollment Center disappear so quickly?
Open slots at a given center are shared across every applicant watching the CBP scheduler, and cancellations are released continuously rather than on a schedule. A slot that opens at 2am is often gone before most people check in the morning, which is why manually refreshing rarely works and automated monitoring does.

Availability varies by airport and is set by CBP, so confirm current participation at ttp.cbp.dhs.gov before relying on it. Otherwise you need a booked interview slot.
