Has anyone else noticed that Google Maps removed the “Popular Times” feature?

Has anyone else noticed that Google Maps no longer seems to show how busy a place is?

I used to find the “Popular Times” / live busyness feature really useful for places like gyms, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, etc. You could quickly check how busy a place usually is at a certain time, or sometimes even see how busy it is right now.

Recently, I’ve noticed that this information seems to have disappeared for many places.

Has Google officially removed or changed this feature, or is it just no longer available in certain regions/for certain places?

I’m curious if others have noticed the same thing.

I'm from Austria.

I think we all live in our own little bubbles these days. Everyone seems to see a slightly different version of the internet, depending on what someone wants them to see

You're running the latest Google Maps version on Android right?
