When Will Pi Mining End? Key Dates for Pi Network Users

Being a crypto enthusiast in the United States, I've been mining Pi coins on my phone for several months, enticed by the idea of a decentralized currency easily accessible. All I hear about is the launch of the Mainnet for the Pi Network. Now what remains unclear is: When will Pi mining officially end in the United States. With a large user pool scattered all over the globe, I fear that I could miss key deadline dates and lose the coins I mined, especially since I trade for money in USD. Could someone please clarify when mining for Pi ends, and what needs to be done next to redeem my coins?

I have read about KYC requirements and the Grace Period, but I find myself a bit uncertain how these might affect a beginner in cryptocurrency terms. I reside in New York and want to make sure I do not waste my efforts, so I want to understand how the Pi Network timeline affects my possible earnings. Are there any dates or activities I should watch out for in order to be ahead?

I imagine similar questions also arise for people in nations like Nigeria and India and that have their own currencies, NGN or INR. How can we all prepare for the end of Pi mining, and what does it mean for the future value of Pi coins? I would need clear directions through this process.
