Is there a time line to retire SharePoint online library classic experience?

Just wanted to know when or if there is a timeline when classic experience will stop working completely or no longer an option?

As most of our sites are migrated from SharePoint on-prem (SP2013) to SPO, we keep the classic experience for easy of user experience transition. We have no problem switch to modern experience but there are quite a few operations required by business not functioning in modern experience. e.g. for one, new form does not launch in documents library where metadata is required for upload

At present, there is no official resource to declare the end date of SharePoint classic experience.

Based on my research, classic mode is not going away, and even if it becomes “unsupported” or “deprecated” at some point after 2026 that doesn’t mean you can’t use it.
