So I was able to save the 1-time extension for a future time.
anyone has any idea if this is the norm or exception ?

I'm in the same boat now that we're 2 weeks away from 2023. Only had a few nights in 2022, with no rollover nights from 2021.

Was searching how to use the one-time Diamond extension and when it should be applied ie before 2023 or after my status has dropped. Been Diamond for 5+ years through stays.
