Is the "You have unsuccessfully finished promos you will be granted a free win next time" a thing?

Like i remember distinctly if you fail promos you got a free win. Well i failed the first time from p4 to p3. Nothing. I then got to p3 the second time with 2 wins. Demoted, got to promos again. Failed them with no free win at the end. Is that not a thing anymore? Considering how promos like to specifically fuck you im not surprised they took out the last saving grace.
