Quick question, if I want to move from Blue to Bronze, do I need 225 or 300 tier points? Some places say 225 due to the lower thresholds and others say the lower thresholds only apply to Bronze’s renewing.

BA Reduced Tier Point Requirement
Hey guys,
I don't know if this has been discussed already but it seems BA is again reducing their Silver requirements by 50% to those who already hold Silver Status.
https://thepointsguy.co.uk/news/british-airways-reduces-silver-status-requirements-300-tier-points/
I currently hold Silver and have 180TP. In a few weeks, I will be flying with IB to MIA in PEY which will give me another 180. I am also waiting for the bonus 180 TP from a BA Holiday Package.
So by the end of September, I will have 180+180 (MIA Trip) + 180 (Bonus TP). Also I have bookings in Y with BA to Madrid in September.
So with BA's reduced TP requirements, does this mean I will have Silver until 2025 or 2024?
My TP ends May 08

Reduced tier points needed for Silver renewal
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...duced-330.html
How do I benefit from the 50% reduced Tier Point / eligible flight threshold?
We have automatically applied the reduced threshold to Silver Members with Tier Point Collection Year end dates in July, August and September 2022. If you collect 300 Tier Points by the end of your current Tier Point Collection Year, or fly with us on 25 eligible flights, your Silver status will automatically renew.
Please note, the Tier Point tracker on ba.com will continue to show a threshold of 450 Tier Points as this reduction does not apply to all Members.
Do I still need to have completed the minimum number of British Airways or Iberia flights required for my Tier to benefit from the reduced threshold to renew?
To retain Silver or achieve status, Members must ensure they take at least four flights operated by British Airways during each Tier Point Collection Year in addition to obtaining the required number of Tier Points.

I believe you’re going to need 450 TP by 31 December 2022, otherwise it’s back up to 600TP by 8th July 2023.
