Yes, I think Seat0B is correct.

I'm currently Platinum with Accor Plus September expiry and 14 status nights this calendar year. I was going to rely on the old December formula to keep Platinum to end 2026.

As best as I understand If I renew in September, then the 30 bonus status nights will accrue on 1 October (so 44 status nights). A few comments are indicating upon renewal on 30 September 2025, I should get Platinum under the old December rule (to 30 September 2026?) but the text quoted by Seat0B really creates doubt:

"Status will be assessed each year on 31 December..."

In my case on 31/12/25 I will likely be 44 status nights.

Have I got something wrong in my reading? It actually leads me to the conclusion not to renew Accor Plus at all, until I plan to dine a few nights or try to take advantage of RedHotRooms or something similar..

Just by way of update, I asked Accor how it would operate in my situation. They have responded today.

If I renewed, Platinum will be retained until 31/12/25. Then revert to Gold after that.

The inference is if I did not renew, Platinum will be retained until 31/12/25. Then revert to Silver after that.

It still seems unknown what happens to everyone who stacked status nights from Accor plus China. T&cs state that if a member hits a platinum on year n-1, they retain plat until end of year 1. But if the max. 30 nights is taken into account on Dec 31, those additional bonus night would not be counted. Would seem a bit strange to downgrade status like that though.
