Back in 2017, Hilton Honors introduced the concept of Hilton Honors Diamond Status extensions for select members. This has been suspended during the pandemic, given that status has been automatically renewed for the past couple of years. However, it’s expected to return in 2023.

As a 20 year Diamond (still without DFL!) this last year has not re qualified us yet but the double nights and miles should do the trick possibly with 13 nights in PPT upcoming and some in-transit stays.
Hope this is not needed but as a non-American there is only one way to qualify - the hard way. So it looks possible this will be the only way if something goes wrong.
Hilton Diamond status is a joke, everyone has credit card Diamond status and in the us they never upgrade you. So I truly don’t care if they have this Diamond status extension or not.

Bummer because until 12/31/2022, all bonus points earned through any co-branded AMEX HH credit cards will continue to count as both base points and redeemable points, likely to try to increase the size of the membership of its highly exclusive DFL status, which is not exactly easy to attain...

Oft repeated but nonsensical statement. Really. I have explained the following multiple times, but here we go again.
Just because everyone has an elite status does not mean that everyone takes full advantage of it. The only people that can make the most of the status -- earned either through a credit card or the "hard way" or both -- are those that actively patronize the program because they are the ones who earn enough points to be able afford award stays, which is what the game is all about.
Anyone with status in a program who does not earn significant numbers of points in that program's currency is not very competitive. 'Occasional' credit card HH Diamonds or Golds are no threat or match to those that actively patronize the program. That is why despite Hilton making it easy to earn its Diamond status through a credit card, there is no evidence that the status has been 'diluted', statements as above claiming that it has been notwithstanding. That is actually the genius of it: status matters only if one takes advantage of it by spending a significant amount of real money at Hilton hotels, which means that the chain wins whenever people go out of their way to stay at the chain's hotels thanks to their status ("Give them status and they' come!"). If they do not actively patronize the program, then there is no harm done because they and their status do not matter.
Now you know why your statement is nonsensical, and it's you that is a joke, Jake.
G'day.
If a tree that costs $0 and gives minimal benefits falls in the forest - does anyone hear it?
Bragging about having lifetime status with a program where top tier is available for a net $0 CC in perpetuity is the height of stupidity.
