How much notice does OpenAI give before shutting a model down?
Across 135 OpenAI models where both the announcement and the shutdown date are published, the median gap is 184 days. The range runs from 3 to 724 days, and the tightest case on record is code-davinci-002 at 3 days (2023-03-20 → 2023-03-23). These intervals are computed from OpenAI’s published dates.

How is this calendar maintained?
A scheduled job re-reads OpenAI’s official deprecation page every week and rewrites this table from it. Entries that cannot be traced to a published source are not shown at all, which is why every row carries a source link. Dates change: providers extend deadlines and occasionally bring them forward, so this page reflects what the vendor documented at the last check, not a prediction.
