Hello,
The build.image config key on .readthedocs.yaml has been deprecated, and will be removed on October 16, 2023. We are sending weekly notifications about this issue to all impacted users, as well as temporary build failures (brownouts) as the date approaches for those who haven't migrated their projects. The timeline for this deprecation is as follows:
* Monday, August 28, 2023: Do the first brownout (temporarily enforce this deprecation) for 12 hours: 00:01 PST to 11:59 PST (noon)
* Monday, September 18, 2023: Do a second brownout (temporarily enforce this deprecation) for 24 hours: 00:01 PST to 23:59 PST (midnight)
* Monday, October 2, 2023: Do a third and final brownout (temporarily enforce this deprecation) for 48 hours: 00:01 PST to October 3, 2023 23:59 PST (midnight)
* Monday, October 16, 2023: Fully remove support for building documentation using "build.image" on the configuration file
