If you use Wiki Replicas to query wikidata termstore tables (wbt_*), be aware that those tables are not currently getting live updates.
The Data Persistence team is working on setting up the new "x3" section in Wiki Replicas hosts,[0] that is expected to take multiple days to complete.
In the meantime, you can start using the following new endpoints: - termstore.wikidatawiki.analytics.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud - termstore.wikidatawiki.web.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud
Those endpoints are already returning data, but the data returned will not be up-to-date. As soon as the replication of those tables is restarted on Wiki Replicas, those endpoints will start returning live data.
For more information, refer to the News page on Wikitech.[1]

The new "x3" database section is now live on the Wiki Replicas. Tools updated for the new database layout now receive live updates again. (And if you have not updated any tools querying the Wikidata term store tables (wbt_*) already, it will break as soon as the DBAs drop the tables from the old replicas.)

Hi, An update that I just dropped the tables. From now on, trying to query those tables in wikidata's core database will result an error.
