AFAIK it is not yet announced, but it seems it could be 2026 or 2027. I
mean EOS - end of support.
However this is one of several "end of life" dates. You cannot purchase
any upgrade to z13, including microcode activation of resources already
present in the machine.
z/OS 2.5 still supports z13, so most of the software will work on it as
well (there are exceptions).
So, the platform is moribund - it is still supported, but no HW upgrades
and it seems z/OS 2.6 will not support it. Good time to change it.

I understand IBM has not officially published the EOL for the z13 processors
but I'm wondering if anyone knows in advance when that date 'may be'?
we're looking at some hardware options, and pricing some software, and if we
had an idea when our z13 was EOL that would help us make some decisions on HW/SW
thanks
