This isn't even deprecation. This is shutting down the API endpoints.

Hence why it reads "abruptly deprecates a majority of it's API before plan" and not "abruptly eliminates a majority of its API endpoints before plan"

But they have abruptly eliminated those API endpoints before plan.

"Deprecate" means that you've marked something for removal at some point in the future. From the other comments here, it seems that the endpoints have been abruptly shut down, effective immediately.
