Why this works

**Why this works.** The subject line uses the past tense "reverted" to signal that an action has already happened to the account, which triggers immediate open rates because users need to understand what changed about their account status. The pattern here is "use passive voice to create urgency around account state changes"; you can lift it for any downgrade, cancellation, or plan-change notification where the user needs to quickly grasp what happened to their product access.
