So even if your status will expire later in the year you might want to take advantage of the discount.
If your status doesn't expire for several months yet, then I would definitely wait this out. I expect that the largest cohort of status pax have their renewal in November, and this issue is not yet pressing for the vast majority of A3 status pax.
(At least A3 seems to recognise that it is of only immediate impact to those who clearly have no other way of requalifying in the last days/weeks of their year)
