Tencent scheduled Yuanqi’s closure for November 9 in its October notice. MyDrivers reported the shutdown. BIG CHANGE has not tested access.
The big change
- Export requests stop January 9, 2027; deletion starts then, with legal exceptions.
- Backups do not keep published agents responding.
- Migration needs manual setup; older workflows require rebuilding.
What stops working
Tencent scheduled new-agent creation and API-key distribution to end October 29. Its notice closes public access, data operations, API and console; agents on WeChat customer service stop answering.
Export before deletion
Tencent’s export guide says users can sign in to a dedicated console after shutdown and request an archive for a selected space. It lists agent configuration, knowledge bases, custom plugins, workflows and widgets; conversation records are limited to the newer Yuanqi version.
The notice says transition runs through January 9; the guide stops requests that day. Complete backups beforehand; the cutoff time is unspecified.
Rebuilding and refunds
Tencent also suggests official-account intelligent replies. Its migration guide says eligible knowledge bases, workflows and widgets can be imported into its cloud Agent Development Platform (ADP), but agent settings and custom tools need manual configuration. Older-version workflows require rebuilding; models or plugins can differ, so Tencent advises checking migrated behavior.
Eligible unused resources and balances purchased through the old Yuanqi Tencent Cloud entry may receive usage-adjusted refunds. The refund guide excludes free, consumed and expired packages; approved refunds return to the original payment account.
