If the several commercial Falcon 9 payloads with NET November dates are ready, then there will be less Florida Starlink launches in November, compared to a schedule with few or no commercial payloads.On the other hand, LC-39A will be free for use after SpX-31.https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=52191.msg2630812#msg2630812

Targeting three Falcon 9 launches in the next four days → http://spacex.com/launches
Up first, Falcon 9 will launch 20 @Starlink satellites to orbit from pad 4E in California tonight. On Sunday, a Falcon 9 will launch an additional 24 @Starlink satellites to orbit from pad 40 in Florida, followed by a Falcon 9 launch of the Koreasat-6A mission from pad 39A in Florida on Monday.

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, November 10 for a Falcon 9 launch of 24 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 4:28 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 8:28 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, November 11 starting at 4:02 p.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the 12th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Euclid, Axiom-2, Axiom-3, Cygnus NG-21, SES 24, CRS-30, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
