Wears off at the beginning of the upkeep, not during upkeep.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
