Legacy silver benefits end date ?
This has been asked quite a few times and I know was covered pretty comprehensively in the old version of these forums which I don't know if they are accessible any longer. Here's what I found:

In short, the official documentation does not give a timeline for the retirement of legacy benefits.
One of the moderators might be able to find one of the older threads that was conclusive on this topic.
Hi MrMVDT update on this Topic:
There is now an end date until when the legacy benefits can be renewed:

Microsoft Action Pack, Learning Action Pack, Legacy Silver, Legacy Gold benefits transition:
As part of this transition, Microsoft will no longer sell the Microsoft Action Pack, Learning Action Pack, and legacy silver/gold benefits on January 22, 2025 . Partners with existing benefits can renew them until January 21, 2025, and keep them until they expire one year later. To continue receiving benefits, partners are encouraged to purchase new partner benefits packages or achieve Solutions Partner designations. These new offerings are designed to help meet business goals and provide more robust support compared to the legacy benefits. To learn more, see Services Partner.
