https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2023/06/14/ubuntu-22-10-kinetic-kudu-reaches-end-of-life-on-july-20-2023/

Ubuntu announced its 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) release almost 9 months ago, on October 20, 2022, and its support period is now nearing its end. Ubuntu 22.10 will reach end of life on July 20, 2023.

At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 22.10.

So plan your release-upgrade somewhat soon. You would have known the month, now you know the day/ See this page for help on how.

The Ubuntu Release Team have a procedure they follow at EOL for a release, that list of tasks has not yet been completed; thus no official ML post has yet been published, either way it’ll come and the 22.10 release is already EOL.
