Manus reverts to independent status for regulatory compliance. Users must backup data by Aug 23 and restore by Aug 25 to ensure continuity, with no fees during transition.

Affected users are required to complete data backups by 7:59 AM Singapore time on August 23 and initiate restoration at 8:00 AM on August 25 to maintain service continuity.
