There is compensation for downgrade that has nothing to so with time ahead notified but the key thing to retain the right to compensation, or more properly called your right to a reimbursement for downgrade that can reach 70% refund of what you paid for your flight … the key thing is that the downgrade must be involuntary.

Asking for a downgrade means it becomea voluntary so bye bye compo.

Time ahead notified matters for cancellations but not fot downgrade.
