Not knowing the facts for those specific services but I assume it's more than a 2 months period for migration:

> The Fauna service will be ending on May 30, 2025

E.g. Microsoft shut down (is still shutting down) Classic Admin Roles for Azure subscriptions for close to 9 months now.also, closed for new business also means there's no reason to migrate away if you've never got onto it - and you can still use it if you're already on it.

2.5 months to migrate off a service is way to short, especially in a time where no support from the supplier (Fauna) can be expected as employees will leave to (if they can).

Google's GCP Discontinuation of Services policy requires 1 year advance notice for generally available services; this includes any significant backwards incompatible changes.

I don't think they went against that policy for the past 16 years. I've certainly had services running there non-stop, with little to no maintenance, for about a decade.
