I switched from regular to all access earlier last year, since we were doing cooking separately and so that made more sense, even at full price. We subscribed at a promo rate of $6/4 weeks, which ended around April. I was fully expecting to be charged the $25 amount, but a few days before renewal, NYT sent me an email that they were giving me a year at half off, so $12/4 weeks. I never contacted them to cancel - I wasn’t going to, as we use our subscription a lot. I don’t know how common this is - with all access or just the regular subscription, but at least for me I still got a pretty good discount without doing anything. YMMV, of course.
