I may very well be re-upgrading in 2025.
Just so I understand clearly, did you downgrade within the 30 day window after the AF and still received the 85k cert ?
And if you re-upgrade, wouldn't you have to re-upgrade prior to the next AF to make sure you get the other 85k cert instead of the 35k cert ?
