Character Downgrading.
Downgrading is a process where, after having had a character through a complete AC cycle (and this is a cycle where you had a normal AC, not the month you apped the character in) you may contact the mods and request the character be moved to half AC from that point forward.
You may not have more than one character under this at a time. You must have made the AC for the requisite proceeding month in full before making the request.
The reason for this choice is to give players the option to pick up characters who might be unsuited for normal play. Antagonists, for instance, if you intend to play the character for a few months behind the scenes, then kill them off dramatically. Another reason is for politicians, such as a character who is great for monthly cameos, but has no real staying power for day to day interactions. Yet another reason for this is as a supporting character, in other words, you apped in a close relative or teammate for someone else, and that's the only real reason the character is there, as they have no reason to be interacting with anyone else in game without significant effort that might be impossible for months at a time. Other characters, after having been played for a time, might just reveal themselves to not have enough to do to maintain normal AC standards despite efforts.
On AC, these characters would only have to have half AC from the point of being downgraded forward, and should be indicated as such on their AC post.
Please keep in mind that this feature is meant to give the players more options, and to in general make play more fun, not to induce stress of any kind. If you wish to reverse the process simply contact a mod and let them know they're going back to normal play status.
