I have an OC1-5 certificate and its expiration date in my account is August 15, so tomorrow. However the confirmation e-mail says valid through August 15, 2019. Can I convert it tomorrow or does it have to be done before the 15th? And in case you're wondering why I want to cut it that close it's because the 15th is a Saturday next year and it's a bank holiday weekend here, so that would be a good week to use it as a last resort if necessary.

Also, does the 15th then have to be my check-out date, or can it be the last of 7 nights?

Took that rep about 10 minutes to deal with everything. I had NOT downgraded the OC6 in advance and the rep had never heard of the 30k point difference but once she got into the system that holds old certs, a procedure popped up to tell her the 30k difference would automatically show up in my account and that there was no process needed to make it happen.

A few minutes after the call, my account showed two NC4 certs with a fresh year of expiration, and activity of +120k from the canceled certs then -90k for the new certs, netting the +30k differential.

So in these final days, it seems everything is a very smooth process now.....
Sorry for being annoying but just to confirm: you converted ON the expiration date in your account?
