Prefect Community

Hi!
I saw that agents are deprecated and getting replaced by workers.
&gt; A deprecation warning was applied to Prefect interfaces related to agent-based deployments in Prefect’s <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/releases/tag/2.16.4|2.16.4 release>, including infrastructure blocks and `prefect deployment` commands. *Agents continue to be supported in Prefect 2 until September 2024*, but are not included in Prefect 3.
<https://docs-3.prefect.io/3.0rc/resources/upgrade-prefect-3#workers-replace-agents>

What exactly means *supported until September 2024*?
What happens after that date when I use Prefect Cloud?
1. My agents are going to stop working completely
2. My agents are continuing to work, but I am not able to add new agents
3. My agents are continuing to work and I am able to add new agents but when I update prefect 2 to a new version after September 2024 I cannot use the agents anymore
4. Something different


I have the same question. can anyone answer?
