It should not be removed in advance. At least you should inform us in advance before it was removed.
Also, could the Gemini team share the exact definition for active 2.5 Pro users? And how many users are still able to use 2.5 Pro right now?
Hello @Rime ,
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: 3.5 Flash-Lite or 3.8 Flash. This helps us maintain sufficient capacity for both ongoing legacy workflows and new applications.
