Hi Amalric, thanks for raising. This capability will be removed sometime after June 11th regardless of any remaining usage, this is coming after 12+ months of notice. There will be another announcement made to reflect this difference in verbiage. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I have a question about the details of the announcement.
On the developer side, you indicated: :
https://developer.genesys.cloud/forum/t/deprecation-acd-chat-v2-0-chat-widgets-1-1-2-0/31110
Removal of ACD Web Chat v2 subject to no usage : 11 June 2025
I may have a translation issue, but I understand that the chat APIs will only be removed if they are no longer in use? I'm asking because I have a client who will not be able to migrate before the date and is requesting that the APIs continue to function after June 11 until their migration on webmessaging.
Will the APIs continue to function after June 11 in that case, or will the APIs be removed regardless?
Thank you for your response.
