Certification Retired & Expired - No Notice Received

Hello,

My Microsoft Office 2013 certifications have been retired and I was not given a notice of this. They were retired as of 6/30/2024. What are my options for keeping certified considering there will be no option to renew these certifications since most of them are now considered Office 365 or Microsoft 365. I have found no support on this topic and would like some information please.
