Why is it so difficult to downgrade from premium to standard?

[Rami Schoenthaler]

I have gone through extensive effort and put in way too much time to attempt to downgrade from Premium to Standard. I had even been explicitly told by an Atlassian representative that they would downgrade my subscription, but they lied, maintained my Premium plan, and now when I try to follow their online steps to downgrade from Jira Premium to Jira Standard for 50 users, I'm told one set of instructions, but when I follow the prompts as described, I end up in constant, never-ending loops.

Why is this the case?
