The hotel memberships usually hang around until at least the end of your current membership cycle (e.g., whenever you would normally need to requalify for the following year).

Priority Pass goes immediately as it is backed by your Amex Plat.

Access to Lufthansa and Plaza Premium lounges probably disappear immediately. Some have only ever asked me to show my Plat card, others swipe it… I assume swiping it will inform them whether it is active or not.

Hertz goes immediately because, again, it is backed by your Amex Plat.

Clearly the HN and Dining Credits disappear immediately, as does your access to FH&R.

Not sure about Avis, as I only used it to status match to Hertz President’s Club.
