You're really posting on the wrong list for CentOS, but CentOS 8 went
end-of-life in December 2022.  They'll probably remove various CentOS 8
files from their servers.

If  you want to use a CentOS that is still being updated, you can use
CentOS 7 until mid 2024 (it goes end-of-life in June).  And there's
CentOS Stream which is not going end-of-life, but I don't use it, and
don't know anything further about it.

I've yet to decide what to do about it, I run a server on it because
Fedora's life cycle is way too short for my liking.  I really don't
want such rapid major upheavals to a server.
