2017 Program Year Elite Status Buyback / Renew / Boost (as of 16 Nov 2016)
For the 2018 AAdvantage program year thread, see 2018 Program Year Elite Status Buy back / Buyback / Renew / Boost (master thd) .
"Grace" for those close to completing status requirements has not been offered since AA began the buyback / renew / boost program.
In previous years, AA (and US) have offered those who failed to requalify for elite status the opportunity to buy back or "boost" status for the following status year. That offer is extended for the 2017 programme year, and is be discussed here. E-mails have gone out to many members (16 Nov) with tailored offers.
Complied a list of people's offers here. List is current up to post #51
Code:

I [60K EQM] got the Plat Pro marked down from $1449 to $1195; this just seems like a waste of an email.

Same here, though I had a little over 65,000 EQM. I'm also passing.

When you go to the aa.com homepage, the first offer they present is "Elevate your status - Boost now for more benefits". When you click on it and enter your information, (for me at least) it's the same offer I was presented in late-2016.
You would think anybody willing to pay for a renewal would have done so by this point; can this be seen as a sign that AA hasn't met their target for renewals and they're going back to the well out of desperation?
