Using CLI wallet you can power down a smaller amount than the full balance, which sets the rate. However, in this case it is sufficient to do nothing, since existing power downs will continue at the previous rate after the fork if not reset.

I was wondering about that. Been running an experiment to understand powerdown, and figured I'd let it run through the fork. I've been powering it all back up anyway, but wanted to watch it run.
I guess that means that the rest of us can't set longer powerdown timeframes.

Right, as before, the ability to power down at less than the maximum rate isn't available on the web site.

@smooth, It should be - let`s implement the slider like we have on voting :)
