Sunset Header

Deprecation HTTP Header Field (RFC 9745)

RFC 9745 defines the Deprecation HTTP response header field, which signals to clients that a resource has been or will be deprecated. It complements the Sunset header by marking the start of the deprecation lifecycle. The header value is a structured date (Unix timestamp per RFC 9651). The Sunset timestamp, if present, must not be earlier than the Deprecation timestamp.
