# Action Use Cases

> Explore a variety of examples of implementations using Actions.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Rules will reach end of life (EOL) on January 31, 2028.**
>
> * As of October 16, 2023, Rules are no longer available in newly created tenants.
> * As of November 18, 2024, Rules are read-only. Active Rules still run, and you can enable or disable them and change their configuration values and secrets. You can't edit their code in the Dashboard, the Management API, or tools that use it, such as the Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, Terraform, and Agent Skills.
> * **After January 31, 2028, Rules stop running and are removed.**
