Do you ever lose Delta medallion status?

You can earn status by flying and spending enough within a single calendar year, and once earned you'll keep it through the following calendar year. So if you earn Gold status in February 2023, you'll keep it through the end of 2024. If you're just short of reaching status before the end of the year, well, tough luck.
