I hadn't heard that.
I mean just a quick google search suggests they're still north of 160 million subscribers and that's a fairly small drop from their peak of about 164 million.
And 160 million subscribers is almost certainly more than they had in spring of 2021 and 2022 when Mando seasons 1 and 2 were killing these numbers.
I don't think this is a subscriber loss thing - that math just doesn't check out.

I'm not too worried about the numbers and I'll post 3 articles that give me reason to not worry yet.

So record breaking viewership of the trailer = enormous fan interest and then this:

And this could be the reason for the low initial numbers:

"However, there is another factor to be considered that may explain the low viewership of The Mandalorian’s third season. There is choice of release date for a start. Both of The Mandalorian’s previous seasons arrived towards the end of the year, and made their debut on a Friday rather than a Wednesday. This means that the capture of four-day date included a weekend when many more people were likely to be watching TV. When it comes to a comparison between Season 2 and Season 3, the greatest difference is that Season 2 premiered in October 2020,when much of the world was in Covid lockdowns, which saw huge increases in all viewership volumes. This is a big reason why the latest figures are not really anything to worry about, as more long-term numbers will likely show that The Mandalorian is still as popular as ever."
So the difference in season 2 and season 3 premier was 2.08 million for season 2 and 1.5 million for season 3. The season 2 premier includes Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Season 3 premier includes Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I'm willing to bet Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the days with very high viewership numbers and the numbers for Season 3 didn't include one of those days.
