Will there be an official plan and an official date in place for the US mint to stop minting the one cent coin by the end of 2026? This will resolve YES of there is a deadline in place or if the mint discontinues the penny before the start of 2027.

The mint will sometimes release commemorative coins with comparatively large runs, in some cases with over 2,000,000 coins; this approximates the lower bound for standard coin production (e.g., 2.5 million of the $1 coin were produced in 2021). If 'commemorative' pennies or other special edition pennies are produced, but are not intended for general circulation, this will resolve YES.
