It was a mistake to use it to begin with.

I love the "Seriously, don't take this seriously. Don't get me wrong, this actually does work." disclaimer. Hilarious
rpg3 | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Has anybody shipped a web app at scale with 1 DB per account?
Seems like a ton of extra work with no real upside. For one, if your migrations fail to complete across all databases for whatever reason then you could hit a point where you have databases with differing schema.
Additionally, like someone else pointed out, trying to run any reporting data across multiple customers will become difficult code wise and less performant.
Realistically, if you are handling the sort of scale that would require more interesting scaling solutions for typical db software, you are most certainly making enough money to implement better approaches.
FWIW, I worked for a company that was handling a few hundred thousand customers with millions of order records on a relatively small AWS RDS server. Set up a database cluster and you're rolling for a while.

I had the same message last month, except my deadline was April 24th. Anyone that's affected will see a message when they log in, but it will actually only reset until you try to log in after that date.
For me, I logged in a few days after my deadline and instead of showing me the warning it just forced me to reset my password. I'm assuming they're doing it on a rolling basis of some sort.
