Model Deprecation
Model deprecation is a provider retiring a model version on its own schedule.
It forces a migration whether or not the team asked for a change.
Treated as a planned release, dated on a calendar before the actual shutoff, it gets its own gate and rollout.
Treated as a surprise, it becomes an emergency cutover the week the old model stops answering.
