I've had DL status for 10 years, most of the time DM, and drop to zero in 2020 because Skymiles has been so devalued, especially wrt premium awards.
OT, but if you've had status for ten years, mostly at the DM level, that should be approximately MM, which would give you "annual" FO. How close are you and does it make sense to try for MM before your GM end?
