“ iirc, the ACA subsidy was killed in the BBB, months ago. This was the attempt to fix that, as now, is the "later" they were banking on when the BBB was passed. Now, the Dems caved again, to pass a CR, with hopes of fixing the ACA subsidy "later'.

No!
The BBB simply did not extend the enhanced subsidies that the Democrats set to expire in 2025. Why would it?
The ACA subsidies for 2026 revert to the previous, still pretty darn generous subsidies that were in place before Covid. Problem for folks like me is the subsidy cliff is back - no sub if make more (MAGI is more) than 400% of FPL.
But the shutdown was never about just this issue, of course. As you said, it was the wrong hill. But shutting down the government is almost always going to be the wrong hill. It was stupid.
