What do we do if the Nisab rate fluctuates before our Zakat anniversary date ?

Fatawa Question

A year ago, I passed the Nisab and I took note of the date and Nisab amount. Before my Zakah due date, I fell below that recorded Nisab, but by then the current Nisab had also fallen below what I possesed (so I have less than the Nisab of the very first day I became Zakah liable, but I have more than the current Nisab). Do I have to pay Zakah ? if so, should i keep the same Zakah due date and re-record the new Nisab ? and if not, since I’m above the latest nisab, should I record the latest Nisab as my Nisab for next year, or should I base my Zakah liability on my recorded Nisab from last year, when I first became eligible ?
