How long until the Académie Française issues a “correct” French neologism to replace “shrinkflation”, the way they decreed, i.e., that email should be called “courriel”?

Don't expect the Académie to act fast, act properly, or even act. Anyway, it's already here, réduflation, from Québec. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9duflation
