alt Hacker NewsI haven't seen any deprecation notices for 2.5 yet, just for 2. I'd expect (and hope) the deprecation timeline for 2.5 is longer since 3.0 is still in preview. Maybe they just default to 1 year here?

I think you're right, it was 2 I think I saw explicitly deprecated, then searched again and saw 2.5 having a shutdown date.
This article[0] talks about 2 being deprecated.
It's still frustrating that they don't have proper production endpoints for 3.0 yet.
