On the WP Core chat on Slack this week it was stated that WP plan to support the Classic Editor “…until at least 2022 and likely beyond.” Gives extra breathing room as last I heard too was 2021. 🙂
I can’t see this as an open/resolved issue on Github.

Have a look through the issues. If it’s not on there, might be worth submitting it?
It looks like this might be the same issue / related to this thread:

If it is, ACF have reported that it will be fixed in v5.8.
As far as I understand it, if you install the Classic Editor now and activate it, you can then run WP5 with the Classic Editor and switch to Gutenberg any time you like in the future. As stated by John Huebner earlier in this thread – support for the Classic Editor has been declared as ending in December 2021, as WP see this as an interim measure and do not intend it as a permanent option.
My current plan is to run WP5 with the Classic Editor in the short term while any potential issues are resolved. I have been using Gutenberg with ACF Pro and it really is great with loads of potential. I fully plan to get my clients using it as soon as possible.
I’ll be testing it in staging environments of their websites before switching to it on their live sites though.

Hi – I can confirm I am seeing this too.
It only seems to happen on the one site where I am running WP 4.9.8, ACF 5.7.7 and Gutenberg 4.1.1 on. On sites where I am still using the classic editor with the latest WP/ACF this issue does not occur as far as I can see.
Is anyone else using the same setup as me?
Hi,
I have created a custom post type on my website – event – and am trying to work out how to filter category pages for events so that only current/future event posts appear on the category pages (I have an ACF datetime field for events). Your post is the closest I have seen to a possible solution, as I think I need to use pre_get_posts but am in over my head a bit. Am I right in thinking I could alter what you have done here a bit to get the results I need?
Thanks
John
Hi – just to clarify (as I have been trying to work out how to do this too) – does this query show only the posts for which the end date/time has not passed yet?
