I am in the same boat, where I will soft land to Platinum and wondering if I'd get the year 9 for lifetime.

Does that mean if I soft land from Titanium to Plat in 2023, the lifetime counter will add 1 for Lifetime Plat in Mar 2023?

If that is the case, I'd just cancel the amex Brilliant and save the $650 annual fee.
Yes that should be the case

That means all your LT counters should see another +1 at the start of 2024.
No it should +1 in March 2023 per the article
Even if you requalify for Titanium or Ambassador in 2023 it's still +1 years of Platinum (or higher) so I guess they're processing it then.
This, to me, makes it unlikely that they are tracking Titanium+ years if anyone still thinks Lifetime Titanium is coming back.
