I helped a relative (Gold with Qantas, Classic with Accor) put through a request and it triggered today (31 Aug) and the Gold membership is valid until 31 Dec 2023.
Interestingly, I am already Gold with Accor and Platinum with Qantas. I won't retain Gold with Accor this year so I registered for the offer in case my status would be extended until 31 Dec 2023. My status expiry date is still showing as the end of this year so I don't think this offer applies to someone in my scenario which is quite frankly an oversight by Accor.
In theory you could have one member that is already Accor Gold that stays 29 nights (one short of retaining Gold) and that member wouldn't retain Gold. While you have another member that hasn't stayed a single night in an Accor hotel and they are gifted Gold until the end of next year. And they call it a 'loyalty' program? It is just typical of everything that is wrong with Accor and why I've reduced by stays at Accor hotels by about 90%.

Yes, stayed one night recently (used QF points through QF hotels) at Sofitel Noosa. Wasn't entirely impressed. certainly not impressed enough to give up Royal Ambassador with IHG. Got three nights at Swissotel in Jakarta coming up booked through a traditional travel agent - be interested in that experience. IHG v ALL App - latter appears inferior.
Mine came through on Friday. Stayed at a Mantra Saturday and the best late check-out they could give me was 10.30am (30mins! On an already ridiculous check-out time). Never been a big Accor fan.

Is anyone else still waiting on their status match - QF Platinum for QF ALL etc?
Also, do ALL points not accrue from Travel Agent bookings? i.e. must be booked direct?
Cheers!

Edit: Update: Status received as Gold on 30 August

Nothing yet for me either but it’s only a couple of weeks since the cut off so hopefully soon.

Yeah I'm still waiting for mine to come through as a QF platinum.
