I'd expect you will be offered a targeted promotion early in 2025 to re requalify as Diamond.
I have only managed 23 nights in 2024 so will not make Diamond/Spire for the first time in many years. TBH - not greatly bothered as I mostly stay at IC's and have a Lounge Pass. I'm not keen on most CP/HI breakfasts so no great loss. Indeed likely to be IHG's loss as we now have Friends & Family rate at Hilton group. At a few of our regular no IC locations I have only used IHG hotels over Hilton because of status
Similar for me. 23 nights this year as I wanted to keep Marriott Platinum too.
The difference is that at the end of this year I will lose the lounge pass as well as Diamond
I would have renewed Ambassador if it still enabled you to retain Diamond status, but alas no.
