ElevenLabs sets March 1, 2027 removal date for its SFX v2 model

ElevenLabs’ current developer changelog says the sound-effects model `eleven_text_to_sound_v2` is deprecated and scheduled for removal on March 1, 2027. Creators and API users still relying on v2 should compare their prompts and generation workflows with SFX v3 before that deadline. The removal is scheduled, not complete today, and current API documentation still lists v2 as the default model.
