I understand what you mean. This will be most problematic if you downgrade far in advance of the renewal date, especially if you are on the yearly cycle. We'll look into improving that process.

Downgrades are trickier for Obsidian than for cloud-based apps because Obsidian is end-to-end encrypted and stores files locally. We also have to deal with different client versions. Deleting files on the server could cause the Sync client to think these deletions should be applied locally. Therefore we put it in the hands of the user to set up the account so that it is ready for the downgrade.

But yes, this process could be smoothed out a bit. The growing pains of going from one to two plans :)
