Marriott recently dropped this article:

If you did not meet the published criteria to renew your current status in 2022, your 2022 Eligible Status Year for your current status will be added in January 2023, and your Eligible Status Year for your new status will be added in March 2023 when your Elite status is updated.
I think this means the next platinum lifetime year (for 2023) is added in March 2023 already, when the status is soft landed from Titanium to Platinum. At least this is how I understand the article.
