End of support (EOS) specifically refers to the milestone when a vendor stops providing security updates, patches, technical assistance, and bug fixes for a product. This directly matches the scenario, as the device is explicitly noted as no longer receiving updates or patches. End of life (EOL) is a broader lifecycle term indicating that a product is no longer manufactured, sold, or available for purchase. While EOS often precedes or coincides with EOL, the explicit mention of halted patches and updates points precisely to EOS. Does not say anything about not being produced or manufactured. Question states its being decommission something means to officially remove it from active service, use, or operation.
