Interpreted documentation change

What the vendor announced

The evidence indicates a documentation change: the previous version release notes for v5.20.3 exist, but the current text says the registry no longer lists this version. This implies an informational note about de-listing or removal of the version from the registry, not a functional API change, deprecation notice, pricing/quota alteration, or an auth-related update. A precise deadline is not stated in the provided evidence, and there is no replacement endpoint referenced.

The registry no longer lists this version.
