Circle on RBR50 going away?

I've been using circle on my RBR50 now for about 2 years without any issues.  Now in the last month, Circle is just randomly dropping domains.  If I go into circle and add a specific allow for a domain, it starts working again.  This just happened with my kids homeschooling website.  When looking for info on Circle with Orbi, I'm seeing conflicting stuff about Circle going away on the Orbi.  Is this the case?  If so, has anyone found a good replacement?

    The Original Disney Circle morphed into Circle 1st Gen for Orbi AC series. I believe its still being supported. For Orb AX systems they use Smart Parental Controls which is access now on the Orbi app and doesn't use Circle 1st gen. I don't know for sure if Orbi AC series will change to the Orbi app and Smart Parental Controls.
