Shard Currency Changes(What happens to excess shards not yet converted?(no credits for 7* promotion)

I have several characters where I have more than 330 shards but I don't have enough currency to promote them to 7* so I can convert those shards in the shard shop.

For example I have 395 shards of IG-86 but I can't afford to bring him to 7* right now and convert the excess.

Will those shards be worth half their value when the store prices double or will those shards still convert at double the rate(15 instead of 30) even though IG-86 will be an accelerated character in future?

I know that I should promote him and convert all those shards before the change but I just have no opportunity to do that and I have more than one character like this.

    And those same youngins are the ones who benefit the most from this change.

    It all evens out in the end.

    Just trying to explain how best to stay whole in this situation.

    This is how CG/EA reduces the Gear crunch... By making it wider ...

    I already posted the solution which is to cash in the excess shards. I cannot and do not want to do that, so yes the value of those shards I earned will go down. I am overall very pleased with the change it will help me immensely, but being penalized for my uncashed in shards tempers my enthusiasm.
