+### Breaking Change
+
+To address security concerns, we are deprecating the ability for applications to create guilds using the `Create Guild`
+endpoint.
+
+#### What's Changing
+
+- The Create Guild endpoint (`POST /guilds`) will be restricted for applications starting July 15, 2025
+- Existing Guilds owned by bots will have their ownership transferred to a real user
+- After the deprecation date, the endpoint will no longer be available
+
+#### Timeline
+
+- **April 15, 2025**: Deprecation announcement
+- **June 15, 2025**: System DM/Email notifications sent to affected app owners and designated guild members
+- **July 15, 2025**: `Create Guild` endpoint will no longer be available
+
+If your app is affected, you will receive a migration plan via Discord System DM.
+
+We understand this change may affect some legitimate use cases. If you have questions or believe your application
+requires continued access to guild creation functionality, please contact us through
+the [Developer Support portal](https://support-dev.discord.com/hc).
