To be guaranteed an upgrade with the planned growth, probably in class by Jan or Feb. After that, you will need attrition to upgrade.
While I'm sure we will have attrition, no one can say for sure how fast it will be.
Here is the math from an earlier post:

That doesn't account for any other attrition.
So you would most likely upgrade from attrition rather than growth. That could be "fast" or it might not. I think we'll have decent attrition after the flow ends, but that is my opinion.
