Credit card auto pay only happens 4 weeks or more after the charges post. If there is fraudulent activity on your account there’s lots of time to address it before it becomes a bank charge.

Depends on when the charge was made. If the charge was made the day before the scheduled payment, you will have problems.
Shouldn’t be true because that should go in the next month
The autopay typically comes out the last day that you can make a payment in the current cycle, which is 20-25 days after the cycle closes. You’ll always have a minimum 2-3 weeks to review the charges before the autopay goes out.
Also AFAIK you can still dispute charges after you have paid them; if you win the dispute you'll get credited later.
