So you don't have anything to contribute beyond, and aren't interested in anything beyond, citing of terms?
Why are you in the comments section of a engineering news site?
(note: beyond your, excuse me while I'm direct now, boorish know-nothing reply, the terms you are citing have nothing to do with the thing people are actually discussing around you, despite your best efforts. It doesn't say "we might swap in a new service, congrats!", nor does it have anything to say about that. Your legalese at most describes why they'd pull 05-06, not forward 05-06 to 06-05. This is a novel idea.)
This case was simply a matter of people not understanding the terms of service. There is nothing more to be said. It's that simple. The "engineers" should know that before deploying to prod. Basic competence.
And I mean I genuinely do not understand what you are trying to say. Couldn't parse it.

It’s always worth considering that this may be your problem. If you still don’t get it, the only valuable reply is one which asks a question. Also, including “it’s not that complicated” only serves to inflame.
John, do you understand that the thing you're quoting says "We reserve the right to pull things", not "We reserve the right to swap in a new service"?
Do you understand that even if it did say that, that wasn't true either? It was some weird undocumentable half-beast?
I have exactly your attitude about their cavalier use of preview for all things Gemini, and even people's use of the preview models.
But I've also been on this site for 15 years and am a bit wow'd by your interlocution style here -- it's quite rare to see someone flip "the 3P provider swapped the service on us!" into "well they said they could turn it off, of course you should expect it to be swapped for the first time ever!" insert dull sneer about the quality of other engineers
How is this so hard to understand? It's a preview service for testing only, not intended for production.
I am done with this thread. We are going around in circles.
