What precisely does "out of stock" mean on LEGO.com? Is this the status they
use before something is officially discontinued or is there a chance it will
still be produced in limited quantities?

I'm trying to replenish some inventory and was looking at set 75316 from
2021. Seems to new to be discontinued - but then again I've never actually
kept tabs on the product cycles and how long sets are produced.

considering its retiring in just several weeks i don't think it will be back
in stock again on lego.com

Rats. Is 1 year production for the star wars sets pretty typical?

And what's the best resource to follow for pending retirements? My top search
results are usually The Brick Fan but it's always for last month's.

seems to be a bit not to rare of a thing but i cant say ive ever looked to much
into that but a quick look at some lists it seems a decent amount are only out
for a year then they retire but some stick around for many years

i usually do a quick google search and ive seen that one on the lists for awhile
now I just googled something like lego star wars sets retiring this year and
checked out a few lists

The Brick Fanatics listed this set as retiring in 2022 in an article back in
January...

  And what's the best resource to follow for pending retirements? My top search

Oh no kidding? I'll have to be a little more diligent from now on. Thanks
for the input everyone. At least I was using a the right resource - just poorly.
