Traffic has shifted to newer versions.
I want to remove it safely.
But I’m worried about hidden dependencies.

Deprecation should be gradual and observable.
First, confirm traffic routing shows zero or near-zero usage. Keep logs for a short grace period before removal. Notify downstream teams and remove references in configuration files. Avoid deleting artifacts immediately. Archive them until confidence is high.
Common mistakes include: Hard-deleting models too early, Forgetting scheduled jobs and ignoring rollback scenarios
The takeaway is that model lifecycle management includes clean exits, not just deployments.
