Deathless chase - am I misremembering this detail or did plans change?

Near the beginning of the deathless chase I seem to remember hearing something about a catch up mechanic that would be available for a limited time at the end of the chase (and no, I am not referring to the 5k unit deal thing in the store). Am I just misremembering? Or is this just simply no longer happening?

For people who missed out on the initial chase, the “cheaper way” to catch up (or it may be a free way) will probably not happen for months or closer to a year.
