Thanks for the support 
, things seem to working as usual. Just confirming for myself and the community again, the shutdown dates for Gemini 2.5 Flash is still October 16, 2026 correct? Wanted to confirm if that is the final date until complete shutdown.
looks like its back already
We experienced similar thing with gemini 2.o flash it was retired before the mentioned deadline …Now this again. I now feel it is deliberate. Kindly of will now move on to other
The issue is still present for some reason. Im using gemini 2.5 flash
Ngl i feel like google ai studio is getting sloppy like its so unstable and so many bugs and issues, im not surprised if the whole backend and frontend is vibe coded by AI. Im not saying its a bad thing but if thats the case pls at least check carefully before actually pushing the updates… No hate btw just saying i could be wrong.
This is still happening, I am using it via Firebase AI logic.
Hello all,
To ensure reliable performance for everyone, we are limiting access to the 2.5 models to users who have actively used them in the past. These models are not deprecated and will continue to be served until further notice. For your new projects, please use our latest models of equivalent quality: 3.1 Flash-Lite or 3.5 Flash. This helps us maintain sufficient capacity for both ongoing legacy workflows and new applications.
