On 1 October 2025, Language Understanding (LUIS) will be retired. Starting 1 April 2023, you will not be able to create new LUIS resources. All your existing LUIS resources and applications will continue to be fully supported until the retirement date. You can migrate your LUIS applications to the next generation service conversational language understanding, a capability of Azure Cognitive Services for Language.

We are currently using LUIS especially to identify the Intents and entities. What to confirm my understanding that till Oct 2025, the ability to add more words to the existing intents and entities will still exist. New intents and entities can also be created within the existing instance. It is only the creation of the new instance that will not work from April 1st 2023. Please confirm.
Also for the benefit of all , can you please elaborate more on what will not work after April 1st 2023.

We're looking for the same clarification. In the official announcement, it clearly only mentions that "you won't be able to create new Language Understanding (LUIS) resources." I noticed it does NOT say "applications". So does this mean that if we have existing Authoring resources created, we can continue to create NEW applications in those resources all the way until October 2025? Or will we NOT be able to create new "applications" too, starting in April 2023? This is very important to clearly explain to the community.
FYI I submitted a ticket to Azure support and they confirmed we can continue to create new "apps" in existing resources as well:
Yes, you could create new applications that uses the resources that are already created. Only the resource creation is going to depreciated for now.

I currently have a working c# server solution that uses the Cognitive Services Speech sdk and the LUIS authoring portal as described in this doc and elsewhere. I am trying to upgrade my solution to use the newer Cognitive Language Understanding Service and cannot see how to connect the speech services sdk to the newer cognitive language service. It appears as though the speech service has yet to be updated to reflect the LUIS changes. Is there any plan to update this? April is coming soon and we need to find a solution.
