# endTime on /REST/v1/Routes/DistanceMatrix stops working

Calls to /REST/v1/Routes/DistanceMatrix, query parameter endTime on Bing Maps API stopped working on September 30, 2024.

On September 30, 2024, the query parameter endTime was removed from /REST/v1/Routes/DistanceMatrix calls. Requests using this parameter fail after that day. The change also retired the resolution parameter alongside it.

## What to use instead

Drop endTime and resolution from your calls, and request one matrix per departure time using startTime.
