The Pokémon Company has announced that service for Pokemon Unite will be ending on March 23, 2027. This applies to both the mobile and Nintendo Switch versions. Until end of service in March, Aeos Gem sales have been suspended from today.
After service ends, there will be some content available in-game like the library feature to view records. You will need to have completed the download for this before service ends though. Post March 23, 2027 you will not be able to log in or battle with other players. The library data cannot be transferred when changing devices. Thanks to Wario64 for the heads up. You can find the full announcement for Pokemon Unite service ending below:

We offer our sincerest gratitude to the many Trainers who have played since service started for the Nintendo Switch version on July 21, 2021.
