Wrong deprecation date for functions.config() March 2026 instead of March 2027

This is what gets displayed in the terminal currently when I try to deploy cloud functions : (it says you won’t be able to deploy after march 2026 )
however per the official documentation Configure your environment  |  Cloud Functions for Firebase , Its March 2027 . I hope Google fixes it not to cause any panic unnecessarily for developers

DEPRECATION NOTICE: Action required to deploy after March 2026

functions.config() API is deprecated.
Cloud Runtime Configuration API, the Google Cloud service used to store function configuration data, will be shut down in March 2026. As a result, you must migrate away from using functions.config() to continue deploying your functions after March 2026.

What this means for you:

  • The Firebase CLI commands for managing this configuration (functions:config:set, get, unset, clone, and export) are deprecated. These commands will no longer work after March 2026.
  • firebase deploy command will fail for functions that use the legacy functions.config() API after March 2026.
