It's a way out of a situation where he runs a minority government that can' get anything done, and a vote of no-confidence was really just a question of when.
So "planned" in the same way a root canal treatment is planned. It was either a new election or political chaos. I don't see him returning as chancellor, as his party is currently polling at half of what the main opposition party is getting.
Scholz would rather have pushed the election further into the future, if that was a real option.
