Maybe.
Although being that this is United we are talking about, a much more likely scenario is: They currently are projecting that they're not meeting their goals for the various status levels, but once mid December comes around, they suddenly realize that they were completely wrong in their previous assessment, and will overshoot the goals by a huge margin, and subsequently make earning status for 2021 even harder by increasing -for instance- 1K requirements to 150K miles & $20K spend.
