June 4th is an odd shutdown date, and it makes no sense that they’d terminate offers early. I suspect external pressures exist here. The shutdown date assigned is precisely 16 weeks and 2 business days following the court decision on February 9th that CPRA is now active in California:

While this could be merely a coincidence, given that the US app offers “deals” to consumers — which are, I can safely assume, paid for by selling the user’s data to a third party — I imagine that the Friday court decision led Google to terminate offers immediately so that they cannot be not found in violation of CPRA, and then shutdown the app as without offers it’s redundant.
