How long ago did Invidious instances all get rid of the suggestions?

I was planning to integrate some of those suggestions in gvid so you would get both gvid suggestions and "youtube" suggestions. As you likely know gvid in its current form lets you both upload videos as well as use it as an invidious instance, so I wanted to add those suggestions for the videos that are the invidious style. Well RIP.

I've hated youtube's suggestions on site for a while now and it looks like their "related to this video" data is no longer available to their competitors to do something better with it.

At the very least if you do use gvid as an invidious instance I'll make sure you get some kind of suggestion and hopefully it's a little relevant. I want to work on that algorithm some because I think I can do better. I was so proud of it when I made it but, no, I can do better. AI and crypto-trading have been about 80% of my coding lately. I consider that work. And the remainder has been a big push on https://matrix.gvid.tv , currently taking up my fun coding. But if I get that to a happy state I'll be trying to improve gvid suggestions so they are more relevant and mix in newest videos so there is better churn.

But does anyone know how long ago Invidious cut that? Gvid + Youtube suggestions may have been good.
