Stored work: what a shutdown does to the files
The one shutdown documented in this register ended storage as well as service: data associated with the product is deleted after a final export window passes. Nobody else has announced an ending, so nobody else has had to say what happens to the material inside. As of 2026-09-12.
| Entry | Stored work | What that leaves a production with |
|---|---|---|
| Sora | Deleted after any final export window | A download period comes first, then nothing |
| SceneMixer | Nothing published | Storage terms sit apart from the tier list |
| LTX Studio | Nothing published | The published clause covers models, not material |
| Every other entry | Nothing published | No ending announced, so no disposal stated |
Inclusion rule. A cell is filled from a shutdown notice that says what becomes of stored material. Ordinary account-closure terms are not a shutdown notice and do not fill one. Order. The announced shutdown first, then the apps whose pages were read for this column.
1A shutdown ends the library as well as the tool
The announcement that ended a model here also ended the place its output lived. Data associated with the product is deleted once a final export window passes, which makes the storage deadline a second date, earlier in practice than the one everybody quoted and carried in a single line near the end of the notice.
A team that treated the product as a tool lost a tool. A team that treated it as an archive lost the archive. Those are different sizes of problem, the notice does not distinguish between them, and so this column does.
2Mostly empty, and still worth keeping
No other entry has announced an ending, so no other entry has been put in a position to say what happens to the material inside it. That leaves one filled cell and a run of blanks, and the blanks are not a promise that files stay where they are. They record that the question has not been asked of anyone in public.
The useful reading is comparative. The single documented case resolved as deletion after a window, which is the harshest outcome a reader would have guessed, and therefore the one worth assuming until some app publishes something kinder.
3Getting the files out is the part a register cannot do
Recording what a vendor published is the whole job here. Moving delivered files off a vendor's account and onto storage somebody else controls is work that has to happen before an announcement, because the export window in the documented case was measured in weeks and shared with everyone else in the same position.
So the column is better read as a prompt than as an inventory. If the cell for a product you depend on is blank, that is not a finding about the product. It is a question still open while there is time to act on the answer.
4This column, entry by entry
The stored work column read one entry at a time, wherever that entry has published something here or falls silent in a way the others do not. Ordinary blanks stay on the table above.
- Sora — the register's one filled cell: deletion once a final export window passes
- Microsoft Foundry — requests return 410 Gone after the date, and nothing is said about material
- Amazon Bedrock — the model leaves every region and requests fail; material is the customer's own problem
- Gemini API — output is returned per call, so a shutdown removes the capability and reaches no files
- Wan-AI — the files were never on the publisher's disk, so a withdrawal cannot reach them
- fal — a meter per output unit rather than a library, so delivery is the whole relationship
- LTX Studio — the published clause covers models, not the material made with them
- SceneMixer — the price list names models precisely and says nothing about what happens to the work
