Dear Avneet,
thank you for the clarification.
However, the statement does not specifically say that IoT Central will be continued. To be honest, the error message seems to be very specific and does not really look like an accident. At least from our side, trust in the platform has drastically fallen. I think, others will feel the same.
That said, I like the idea, look and feel of the IoT Central platform and I really hope, developement of new, definitely needed features will continue (such as raw data download, flexible data retention, etc.).
