If it was an AF/KL flight, it should probably credit by then.
I never took screenshots of how close I was, however my flight qualifying for Plat was a generic 25% AMS-LHR, so probably wasn't that far
The app now no longer shows a percentage, and KLM website shows my miles bar up to 100,000 even though I have not yet re-qualified...

Last year around late December, I was 5 flights short of Gold. I needed to go from STR to NCE for christmas, then AMS for new year's eve, then immediately back to work on Jan 2nd.
The "cheapest" for me was to take a STR->AMS round trip, and AMS->SXB->NCE round-trip. Taking into account the 4h delay and refund due to a technical issue on the plane at SXB, that was an affordable entry into Gold in the end.

In 2012 I was at 24,979 Medallion Qualifying Miles with Delta. I needed 25,000 to requalify.

I remember having 24k level miles back in 2014 (around when I started flying frequently). Then I made a trip TMP-HEL-CDG-PVG and back in W, which got me straight into gold. So my Silver status lasted only for a week
