How do you find the manufacturer date of an AP

Can you tell the date of manufacture by the serial number? If this has been addressed before please point me to it. I did a search but couldn’t find it. Thank you.

From the subject I thought you were going to give advice on taking your watch out for a date.

How to date an AP

Up to K serial which was 2019, you can tell by the first letter of serial. In late 2019, they switched to random serial so no longer can tell by that. But if you register it online, you can see when the warranty runs out and base it off that for the randoms.
